Starts again, three shots on goal Podence logged three shots on goal across 88 minutes during a 1-0 win Monday against Manchester United.
Impact The Wolverhampton Wanderers gave Podence his third consecutive English Premier League start to commence their 2022. He rewarded them by logging three shots on goal, a team best. Podence's recent playing time -- 257 minutes across his last three EPL appearances -- indicates the forward will continue starting in place of an unavailable Hwang Hee-Chan (hamstring).

Takes three shots in draw Podence had three off-target shots, created one chance, sent in three crosses (two accurate) and suffered one foul during Sunday's scoreless draw against Chelsea.
Impact Podence was his side's lone bright spot on the offensive end, as he made several dangerous plays and even had a goal disallowed due to an offside earlier in the play in the 15th minute. He, as well as his attacking partners, was slowed down during the second half and that led him to be subbed off after 79 minutes. Up next for Podence is Sunday's home match against Watford.

On bench Saturday Podence (COVID-19) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Liverpool.
Impact Podence is back in the team Saturday after missing the last two matches with COVID-19. He could get some minutes off the bench and with a full week of training, he should contend for starts next weekend.

Late test for Liverpool match Podence is returning from COVID-19 and is a late test for Saturday's match against Liverpool.
Impact Podence probably won't start Saturday given his absence due to COVID-19. He started prior to contracting the virus and once fully fit, it's expected he'll again fight for starts with Adama Traore and Francisco Trincao in the attack.
DECEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Tests positive for COVID-19 Podence has tested positive for COVID-19, according to Tim Spiers of The Athletic.
Impact Podence missed Saturday's game against Norwich, and he will be out for about a week while in isolation. He has started just two Premier League games so far this season.

Logs assist during start Podence logged one assist across 76 minutes during a 1-0 win Saturday versus West Ham United.
Impact Podence logged two assists across his last five English Premier League appearances. But only one of those were starts, so fantasy managers should be careful when considering him.

Comes on as sub Podence was introduced in the 68th minute but only completed six passes and drew a foul in Wolves' recent 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace.
Impact Podence came on for Trincao but couldn't help his side unlock Palace's defense. The Portuguese attacker has been a peripheral figure under new manager Bruno Lage, playing just 181 minutes thus far.

Back in starting XI Podence (groin) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's Cup match against Nottingham Forrest.
Impact It's a surprise start for Podence, who was reportedly going to return three weeks from now. That clearly was a false report, as he's been training for close to a week and is seemingly healthy enough to start a match despite missing four months following groin surgery. He's a nice boost to the side and he may eventually steal playing time from Francisco Trincao on the wing unless Wolves change their formation.
AUGUST 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Hopeful to return in three weeks Podence (groin) is back in training and hoping to return in "around three weeks," reports The Athletic.
Impact This projection points to a possible return following the international break for the Sept. 11 match. More information should come out in the coming weeks, but if Podence is already training, he should build enough fitness until then, allowing him to be an option once again after starting 22 matches last season.
AUGUST 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Expected out for opener Podence (groin) has yet to return to full training and will miss Saturday's opener against Leicester City, according to BBC.
Impact There have been no updates on a possible return for Podence, so his status will be in doubt for the next month. He had surgery back in May and it appears he may not be an option until after the international break, which will be at the beginning of September.
AUGUST 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Aiming to return in August Podence had surgery on his groin Monday and the hope is for him to be fit by August, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
Impact Podence was a regular in the squad the first half of the season before injuries took over. Either way, it was his most significant campaign in the Premier League, totaling 24 appearances (22 starts) with three goals and two assists. If all goes well, his role will only grow next season.

Undergoing surgery Podence is set for surgery Monday morning on a groin issue he's been dealing with for multiple weeks, manager Nuno Espirito Santo told the media. "This is the right moment to solve...
Impact Podence didn't play in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Tottenham and this news explains why he was absent. After playing much better in the later months of 2020, Podence failed to score in nine league appearances in 2021 and had already missed over a month with a different groin issue. Morgan Gibbs-White has been the most recent starter on the left side of the attack and the final games of the season could see more rotation in that spot as this surgery is likely to rule Podence out for the season.
