Nuno Espirito Santo: 'Adama Traore fit to make Wolverhampton Wanderers debut'

Nuno: 'Traore fit to make Wolves debut'

Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has revealed that Adama Traore is in contention to feature for Wolverhampton Wanderers against Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.

Wolves were able to bring in the winger from Middlesbrough for a club-record fee just before the end of the summer transfer window, but the 22-year-old has been carrying a shoulder injury picked up in pre-season.

However, Nuno has said that the former Barcelona trainee is available to make his debut in the Premier League clash at the King Power Stadium.

At a press conference, the Portuguese told reporters: "He's available for tomorrow. Adama joined us late, he came with an injury in his shoulder He was two weeks out, he started training and is adapting and getting better."

Nuno also revealed that Leander Dendoncker and Ivan Cavaleiro would play no part of the fixture in the East Midlands.
