# Wolves: Tim Spiers gives Daniel Podence and Leander Dendoncker injury update

**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](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60950088) 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 Latest: Spiers drops late-night news

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TimSpiers/status/1512545406630178829?s=20&t=BxTOAFpw4bsn5re5uaN6ig) late after the game on Friday, Spiers provided a positive five-word update, saying the Wolves duo should return for the trip to Burnley on April 24th:

> “Should be fine for Burnley.”

### 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.
