    Wolves have cancelled their pre-season fixture at Dutch side SC Heerenveen on 1 August due to "unreasonable" travel restrictions for supporters.

    It has been replaced with a home game against Spanish club Racing Santander on the same day.

    Wolves said they had concerns around supporter safety, external after travel arrangements were put in place by local authorities in the Netherlands.

    The restrictions required a maximum of 650 Wolves supporters to travel together on coaches departing from Amsterdam regardless of the location of their accommodation, as well as limited flexibility for fans making their own way to the stadium.

    "We know many supporters were looking forward to travelling to the Netherlands to support the team and we're naturally disappointed that this fixture can no longer go ahead," director of football operations Matt Wild said.

    "Throughout the process, SC Heerenveen have been accommodating and understanding, and we'd like to thank them for their cooperation.

    "Unfortunately, the travel arrangements required by the local authorities meant our supporters would have faced significant restrictions which we didn't feel were reasonable."

    The replacement match against Racing Santander, who earned promotion to La Liga last season, will take place at Molineux at 17:00 BST.
