Wolves drew 0-0 at Leicester, days after making a 4,600-mile round trip to Armenia to beat FC Pyunik 4-0 in Europa League qualifying.

All 13 players involved at The King Power Stadium played against Pyunik too, and Nuno said: "How can I not be proud?

"When a player comes back into the dressing room having given everything that he has, I'm a very proud manager.

"Of course, I'm very proud of managing these boys.

"I think it was a very good game of football. Leicester are a very good team in possession of the ball.

"It requires a lot of effort from us, playing together, in shape.

"We defended well and didn't allow too many chances to a very good team, and we had some good chances.

"This is the process, the games being close to each other with the calendar that we have. We have to protect each other."
