Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Nuno faces the prospect of taking his team to China for pre-season.
Wolves are set to compete in the Premier League Asia Trophy in China this summer, but they face a quick turnaround as their Europa League campaign gets underway so early on in the season.
Wolves face playing their first European match just five days after their last match in China.
Wolves’ owners Fosun were keen to get their side playing in their homeland, but the decision is one which Nuno is said not to be best pleased with.
The travelling to China so close to the start of the competitive season risks Wolves being lethargic in their qualifying games for the Europa League.
Wolves should still come through their two-legged tie though, as they are set to come up against minnows Crusaders or B36 Torshavn.
Nuno can have few complaints about Wolves owners over his time at Molineux either, as they have backed him brilliantly and have help enable the Midlands side to trouble the very best sides in England.
