Wolves boss Lage happy Jordao on his way back | OneFootball

Bruno Jordao is working his way back for Wolves.

The midfielder has started getting minutes under his belt for the under-23s and yesterday played just over an hour in the Premier League Cup.

And manager Bruno Lage has said Jordao still needs more time before considering him for the first team.

“He's played minutes to get his confidence and now we go to the second phase to give him more minutes for sure," Lage said.

“He cannot go to the bench straight away. We need him to get to a different level.

“First he has started training with the team and has played twice. He will play more time in the next game and we want him to play at least two or three games for 90 minutes.

“That's for him to win all the confidence and recover all the time he lost with his injury, so that when he comes he's fully fit to help the team."

When asked if Jordao is doing enough in training to impress, Lage added: “Yes, since the beginning.

“Two months ago he started watching our meetings to try and understand the way we play and train.

“I saw some things when he played last year for Famalicao. I need to try to understand what he can give us and what position he can play for us.

“He is doing his best and we are very happy with him. For now, there's no problems, which is good.

“We have finished that first phase and we go again to put more minutes in his legs."
