Wolves will relish Europa League trip to Armenia – Conor Coady
Skipper Conor Coady insists Wolves will embrace the next step on their Europa League adventure – a 4,600-mile round trip to Armenia.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side are going up against FC Pyunik in the competition's third qualifying round next Thursday, just three days before the Premier League season starts at Leicester.
The qualifier was set in stone as Wolves beat Northern Irish side Crusaders 6-1 over two legs, while Pyunik pulled off an upset 2-1 aggregate victory over FK Jablonec of the Czech Republic.
"It's a different tie, isn't it? It's something different for us, but we'll embrace it and look forward to it," said defender Coady, despite having such a long journey just before facing the Foxes.
"We're in the next round of the Europa League, and that's what we wanted to do.
"We'll go there as confident as we can be to, hopefully, get a good result."
Wolves won the second leg against Crusaders 4-1 on Thursday, eventually cruising to victory in Belfast after surprisingly conceding early on – Ryan Bennett heading into his own net.
Raul Jimenez was at the double before limping off with a knock which is not thought to be serious.
Pyunik, meanwhile, picked up a goalless draw in the Czech Republic after beating Jablonec 2-1 in the first leg.
Pyunik finished second in the Armenian Premier League last term.
They are based in the Armenian capital, Yerevan.
"Our mind is on Armenia now, it's as simple as that," added Coady.
"We need to go there, put on a good performance away from home.
"It's a European tie which we're looking forward to.
"It's why we wanted to qualify for Europe, to have ties like this.
"And we know what's coming next Sunday (against Leicester).
"It's the start of the Premier League season and we know how tough that's going to be so we have to make sure we do next week right, prepare right."
