Podence Charged By FA For Allegedly Spitting At Johnson

Podence Charged By FA For Allegedly Spitting At Johnson

Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Daniel Podence has been charged by the Football Association for allegedly spitting at an opponent.

Podence appeared to spit in the direction of Nottingham Forest striker Brennan Johnson when the two sides met in a 1-1 draw over the weekend.

The incident happened in the 90th minute and was reviewed on the pitchside monitor by referee Chris Kavanagh, who found no conclusive evidence to send Podence off.

In an incident-filled encounter, coaching staff from both sides also received their matching orders and Forest have also been charged for failing to control their players, who surrounded referee Kavanagh for waving away a penalty in the 40th minute.

In the latest regulation and discipline update, the FA said in a statement: "Nottingham Forest has been charged after its players surrounded the match official during the 40th minute.

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

"Both Nottingham Forest FC and Wolverhampton Wanderers FC's assistant managers, Alan Tate and Pablo Sanz, have also been charged. It's alleged that their behaviour during the 52nd minute was improper and/or violent."

"Finally, Wolverhampton Wanderers FC's Daniel Podence has been charged after the forward allegedly spat at opposing player during the 90th minute."

If found guilty, Podence could face a ban of up to six matches.
