Conor Coady is Wolves' marathon man: Their tireless captain has played every minute of 54-week Europa League campaign and hasn't missed any league action in almost three years... so, can he lead them to glory at the end of an extraordinary season?

How appropriate Wolves are up against Greek opposition in Olympiacos as their marathon season enters its 54th week.

Their gruelling, Covid-interrupted campaign began way back on July 25 last year and continues on Thursday night at Molineux as they try and summon the energy for a Europa League sprint finish.

And maybe a bit of the spirit of Pheidippides - the fabled Greek soldier and messenger who ran the 26.2 miles to Athens to report news of victory over the Persians in the Battle of Marathon in 490BC - lives on in Wolves captain Conor Coady.
