Leander Dendoncker says it’s been tough not playing regularly since his summer move but he’s now eager to take his chance at Wolves.
The defensive midfielder joined Wolves from Anderlecht in the summer on an initial loan deal that is set to be made permanent at the end of the season.

He’s had to wait patiently for his chance under Nuno Espirito Santo but, after making his Premier League debut in the win at Spurs last month, the 23-year-old could now be set for a run in the side, especially with Willy Boly suspended for three games.
Dendoncker admits it’s not easy when not playing but he’s keen to prove his worth at Molineux in the second half of the season. “I knew there was going to be a chance to come.
I got the chance and it’s up to me to show it was worth it. I just have to keep working,” he told the Shropshire Star. “In general I’m a relaxed person. I always try to work hard, even though I don’t play.
“Mentally it’s really difficult, for any footballer it’s hard when you don’t play. But you try to work hard for yourself, and try to be ready for when the opportunity comes.
“That’s what I try to do, work hard in training and be ready for when I get the chance.”
