Gary O’Neil explains his tough decision to drop Wolves midfielder
Wolves boss Gary O’Neil has revealed how ‘incredibly tough’ it has been to drop Tommy Doyle, but says the midfielder is right in the mix to earn his spot back.
The 22-year-old starred for Wolves over a spell of games in the New Year, but has lost his place in the last three games after Mario Lemina and Joao Gomes were available to renew their partnership.
Although Doyle is now fighting for a way back in, O’Neil insists the 22-year-old has proven he is good enough at this level.
“It was an incredibly tough chat with Tommy,” O’Neil said.
“To leave somebody out who has performed that well is never an easy conversation to have.
Forgotten Wolves man could yet return to the club in the summer
Greek side Olympiacos are yet to make a decision on whether to sign forgotten Wolves man Daniel Podence according to reports.
The Portuguese international was a vital player for Wolves last season as he finished as the club’s top scorer in their successful battle against relegation.
However, with Wolves needing to raise funds combined with Gary O’Neil not favouring the winger, Podence was sent out on loan to the Greek side.
The 28-year-old did sign a short-term contract with the club before departing to help keep his value. It has been expected that Podence will depart Wolves permanently, sooner rather than later.
Yet, reports emerged today that his future may not be at Olympiacos, with the club yet to make a decision on whether to sign the winger.
Olympiacos yet to take up option to sign Daniel Podence
Since joining the Greek side, Podence has had a fairly successful spell in the country thus far.
Despite the side sitting four in the Greek Superleague, the winger has had no trouble finding the back of the net.
