Coventry City boss Mark Robins said his side “know the magnitude of the task” as they prepare to play Wolves in an FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday.
Coventry are hoping to reach the semi-finals for the first time since they won the competition in 1987.
The Sky Blues, one point outside the Championship play-offs, visit Wolves, who are ninth in the Premier League.
“There is no reason not to be excited about this, it is going to be a fantastic occasion,” said Robins.
“To try and get a place at Wembley is a real big carrot.
“It is going to be a brilliant occasion, we know the magnitude of the task but we are going to go there and give it our all.”
Coventry midfielder Victor Torp has returned to training and could be available despite picking up a hamstring injury against Watford last Saturday.
Matheus Cunha and Craig Dawson may be fit enough to return for Wolves, although boss Gary O’Neil was coy about revealing any team news during his Friday news conference.
“We’ve decided not to do injury updates,” he said. “With Cunha, we were expecting to be without him a lot longer than we have been. We’re delighted to have him back in training and it’s given the group a real lift.”
O’Neil also refused to give updates on Pedro Neto and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde who picked up hamstring and knee injuries respectively against Fulham last weekend.
“I’m sure our fans will understand giving team news away before an FA Cup quarter-final will hand unnecessary advantages to the opposition,” he added.
Four-time winners Wolves last reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup in 2019, losing to Watford after extra-time at Wembley.
