Wolves boss Bruno Lage insists Francisco Trincao still needs time to adapt to Premier League demands.
Trincao, having joined on loan from Barcelona in the summer, has had an up and down time thus far.
The 21-year-old Portuguese has caught the eye in a few outings but struggled in others – Wednesday's win at Brighton an example of the latter.
He is still yet to open his Wolves account, and Lage is looking for more as he said: “Sometimes he needs to understand the game better, how we start.
“That's the biggest thing he can learn.
“If you look at the game (at Brighton), I don't exactly how much but for 15 or 20 minutes, every time he tried to link the game, he was pressed and lost the ball.
“After that, he came into the game along with the team, and he tried to link it the way we want.
“That's the big (thing to) learn for him and the big impact the Premier League has.
“When he starts, the teams are there and they go until the end of the game. Always with a good tempo and a good rhythm.
“That's the thing. When you come from outside, you need to adapt."
