Wolverhampton Wanderers star Daniel Podence has taken to Instagram to inform supporters of a new injury problem.

The forward will not be involved in today’s game against Leicester City, and is facing weeks on the sidelines with an adductor issue.

Podence had only just returned for Nuno Espirito Santo, featuring in games against Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Arsenal.
