It was a round trip of 6,370 miles but Nuno is confident Wolves have done all they can to prepare for their top-flight curtain-raiser.

He said: "We did the first part of the recovery on the players in the dressing room (in Armenia) and then on the plane – there are a lot of small details that can help them.

"I'm not complaining, I never do as I believe that at the moment we are in this competition and we have to forget what was before and not think what could happen – prepare yourself on a daily basis and we'll be able to do that.

"We've had a good pre-season, a different approach, we had a lot of travelling but the most important thing is the players.

"The way they believe, the way they respect themselves, the way they work so hard – this is fantastic. It's delightful for coaches like us to have these great men.

"They are healthy – tired, but let's prepare well."

Real Madrid loanee Jesus Vallejo and new £16million striker Patrick Cutrone are available to make their league debuts.

Nuno added: "The new players are adapting. One of the things that the squad have received them well and welcomed them – that is the first aspect.

"Then comes my job on the pitch, to integrate them and expect the best of them.

"Patrick has talent, he's a young boy but he has talent and he has tremendous will to improve and that's the more important thing.

"This mentality on a daily basis of always wanting to learn things, become a better player, a better human being – we're very happy with all the new players."
