The 27-year-old found himself in hot water after appearing to spit on the Nottingham Forest star not long after he scored the equaliser in his side's 1-1 Premier League draw last weekend.

The incident went to VAR after the Forest star complained to the referee, but the Wolves man avoided receiving any punishment after the review.
However when asked about the moment after the game, Johnson said in a post-match interview 'some sort of spit came towards my face'.

On Wednesday, Podence was then charged retrospectively by the Football Association, with the body releasing a statement saying: "Wolves' Daniel Podence has been charged after the forward allegedly spat on an opposing player during the 90th minute."
The 27-year-old has until April 12 to reply, but on Thursday afternoon, he took to Instagram to address the accusation instead.
Writing on his Instagram story, Podence said: "As I have been accused of something I haven't done… I will make it clear:
"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."
Forest assistant Alan Tate and Wolves counterpart Pablo Sanz, who were both sent off after a touchline melee early in the second half, were also charged by the FA on Wednesday.
Forest have also been accused of failing to control their players after referee Kavanagh waved away their penalty appeals when Emmanuel Dennis' cross appeared to strike Nelson Semedo on the hand in the opening half.
