Daniel Podence breaks silence with explosive Nottingham Forest rant amid spitting allegation

Wolves wide man Podence has been charged by the Football Association for allegedly spitting at Johnson in the 1-1 draw away at Forest last weekend, but he has made his stance clear.

Podence, who scored the equaliser for Wolves on Saturday, has released a message on social media to strongly oppose the allegation.

“As I have been accused of something I haven’t done, I will make it clear,” Podence said on Instagram.

“I DID NOT spit on Nottingham’s player. I’m telling the truth and I would never do such a thing even more to a colleague. Thank you,” Wanderers’ number 10 went on to say.

Despite his plead of innocence, the FA is yet to make any further comment, with the latest from the footballing regulator being a statement on Wednesday.

The FA said: “Various charges have been raised following the Premier League fixture between Nottingham Forest and Wolves on Saturday 1 April.

“Nottingham Forest has been charged after its players surrounded the match official during the 40th minute.

“It is alleged that the club failed to ensure its players conduced themselves in an orderly fashion and/or do not behave in a way which is improper.

“Both Nottingham Forest and Wolves’ assistant managers, Alan Tate and Pablo Sanz, have also been charged.

“It is alleged that their behaviour during the 52nd minute was improper and/or violent.

“Finally, Wolves’ Daniel Podence has been charged after the forward allegedly spat on an opposing player during the 90th minute.”
