Morgan Gibbs-White is eyeing more opportunities with Wolves | OneFootball

Morgan Gibbs-White is eyeing more playing time for Wolves as the season begins to gather momentum.

After the international break, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side will continue their rough schedule as the Europa League group stage is set to begin.

Having made it through the qualifying rounds, Wolves have already had some time to adjust to the Thursday, Sunday rhythm that playing in the Europa League demands.

Gibbs-White is hoping the demands of playing in four competitions provides him with plenty of opportunities to impress.

“Of course, you can’t keep the same 11 for every single game,” the midfielder said while on England U-21 duty.

“It gives you the incentive to work harder, try and impress more.

“If you impress in these cup games, you’re a contender for the league games, and that’s what you want – to play in the Premier League.”

Gibbs-White made 31 appearances in all competitions last season but just nine of those were starts. Of those, four came in the FA Cup or EFL Cup.

The 19-year-old has already started Europa League qualifying matches this season and, with group stage games and the third round of the EFL Cup coming up, should expect more football in the near future.

“That’s what you’ve got to do in these tough cycles, just grit your teeth, work hard and get through it.

“The main thing is to impress the manager as I want to get in that starting 11 every week.

“It’s been a tough start-of-season cycle, playing Thursday, Sunday, Thursday, Sunday games.

“But I think the boys have worked really hard and performances and results have shown.”

Wolves lost for the first time this season just before the international break, falling short in a 3-2 defeat to Everton.

They’re still awaiting their first Premier League win of the campaign and host Chelsea at Molineux this weekend.
