​Nuno refuses to blame coronavirus fears for Wolves showing

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo does not want to make excuses for his side's poor Europa League showing on Thursday.

Wolves were held to a 1-1 draw in Athens against Olympiacos.

Many had felt the game should not go through, given the Greek club's owner recently tested positive for the coronavirus.

Nuno had been critical of the decision to hold the game before kick off. But he did not blame the virus scare for the performance.

He told reporters afterwards: "Let's be fair to everyone, during the game there was not that feeling.

"People were focused.

"Olympiacos are a very good team.

"Now we're going to think about West Ham, but we keep on working.

"Now we have West Ham and hopefully next Thursday we'll play again."
