Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo revealed Adama Traore missed the Europa League qualifying third-round first leg against Pyunik because he forgot his passport.

The mistake prevented the 23-year-old making the 6,370-mile round trip where his side moved a step closer to the group stage thanks to Matt Doherty’s opener, a double from Raul Jimenez and Ruben Neves’s late penalty.

Nuno revealed that his winger only brought an ID card with him to the airport.

“He had a problem with his passport … he didn’t know,” the Portuguese said in his press conference after the game, reported by the ­Express and Star. “It’s impossible to travel with an ID card so he couldn’t travel with us. He’ll join us for the next game.”

Wolves did not miss Traore as they blitzed the Armenian side to put one foot into the play-off round against Torino or Shakhtyor.
