Wolves pair Daniel Podence and Leander Dendoncker should be fit for the Premier League clash with Burnley, reliable journalist Tim Spiers has confirmed.
The Lowdown: Double blow for Wolves
Bruno Lage’s side returned to action on Friday evening, making the trip to Newcastle United for another important game.
Wolves produced a hugely forgettable performance, however, mustering just two shots on target and falling to a 1-0 defeat at St James’ Park.
It was a big blow in the race for European football this season and Wanderers were without both Podence (foot) and Dendoncker (illness), which didn’t help their cause.

The Verdict: Must-win game
There is now a two-week break for Lage and his players to stew over a bitterly disappointing result, as their chances of playing in the Europa League next season took a big hit.
The Burnley clash now becomes a must-win game for Wanderers, who need a strong end to the season if they are to clinch a place in Europe.
Sean Dyche’s side are facing a massive relegation battle and will make life tough for Wolves, so if they produce another display like the Newcastle one, it could be a bad day at the office once more.
