# Wolves: Fans react to double injury boost

**Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Bruno Lage has confirmed that Willy Boly and Daniel Podence have returned to training (via [Express and Star](https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2021/08/23/forest-v-wolves-preview--bruno-lage-condemns-fixture-congestion/)).**

Wolves face Nottingham Forest in the second round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night, only two days on from their last outing against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

### Why have Wolves been missing Boly and Podence?

Boly has been out with a hamstring strain, while Podence has undergone surgery on a groin issue (via [Premier Injuries](https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php)).

It’s actually been a tricky year for both players fitness-wise. The former was sidelined at three separate intervals last season, [limiting him to 23 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/willy-boly/leistungsdaten/spieler/142310/plus/0?saison=2020) in all competitions.

Podence, meanwhile, has only played [seven matches since the start of February](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/daniel-podence/leistungsdaten/spieler/256977/plus/0?saison=2020), when he sustained an abductor tear. He ended his first full season at the club with [three goals and two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/daniel-podence/leistungsdaten/spieler/256977/plus/0?saison=2020).

Wolves remain without Jonny Castro Otto and Pedro Neto [long-term](https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php).

Fan feed [Talking Wolves](https://twitter.com/TalkingWolves/status/1429919815641313288) relayed the news, and here’s what supporters made of it.
