Traoré justifies Nuno’s faith but more hurdles await Wolves marathon men | Stuart James
The Wolves manager will be happy with a point at home to Manchester United at the start of a run of five games in 14 days, with a trip to Torino next in the Europa LeagueThis was the first of five fixtures in 14 days for Wolves, taking them up to double figures for the season by the start of September, into Northern Ireland, Armenia and Italy in the process, and leading some to wonder whether the toll of playing in the Europa League on a Thursday night – Torino are up next – could derail any hopes of breaking into the top six this season.Their record against those elite clubs last season was nothing short of astonishing; Wolves collected 16 points, including beating Manchester United here four months ago, en route to a seventh-placed finish in their first campaign back in the top flight.
