The £12million deadline day signing from Anderlecht hasn't featured in the league yet for Wolves.

He spent the summer in Russia with the Belgium squad for the World Cup and then took a three-week break.

Dendoncker, who plays in central defence or as a defensive midfielder, played 90 minutes in both of Wolves' Carabao Cup games against Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester City.

And Nuno said today: "He's progressing well. He came after the beginning but he's adapting and he showed on Tuesday, he gave a good answer.

"He needed more time than the others but now he's at a good level.

"He did a good game on Tuesday and is an option for tomorrow, so we have to decide."
