Another player who is set to be in Wolves' squad for Saturday's game is new signing Daniel Podence.

The 24-year-old was signed from Olympiakos for a fee of £16.9m, penning a four-and-a-half-year deal at Molineux.

The versatile attacking midfielder scored five goals and claimed five assists for Olympiakos before the move, and Nuno believes that the Portuguese will improve his side, who are currently seventh in the Premier League.
