Arokodare: Wolves coach addresses dressing room bust-up involving Super Eagles star

Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Rob Edwards has weighed in on Tolu Arokodare’s dressing room bust-up with Mateus Mane, Afrik Foot reports.

The incident occurred after Wolves’ 4-0 loss against West Ham United, a result that further confirmed the Old Gold’s relegation to the EFL Championship.

The Super Eagles striker was the instigator of the fight with the youngster and was punished with a fine and missed the game against Leeds United.

Mane and the former Genk striker appeared to have squashed the issue after the youngster posted a photo on his Instagram story featuring himself alongside Arokodare. He tagged the striker and wrote “big bro,” accompanied by two emojis, including a heart.

Wolves coach Rob Edwards has also weighed in on the incident, claiming things like that are not unexpected dressing room events.

“It was a couple of weeks ago, it happened, it’s not uncommon,” Edwards said in quotes revealed by Express and Star.

“We didn’t like it, it’s been dealt with and that’s all I want to say on the matter now.

“It was a couple of weeks ago, we’ve moved on from that. There’s always emotion, there’s a lot of passion here.

“It’s not uncommon for arguments to happen. Sometimes things can get physical, rarely, but it can happen.

“We’ve got a group that do care and the situation we’ve been in this year has been difficult.

“It’s not something I’m having to control or concerned about. They are a tight group and sometimes emotions can spill over.”

“We’ve got no issue with any of the players and it’s all been dealt with,” the Welshman continued.

“At the time we had to deal with the situation. Now we’re moving forward, it’s just business as usual.

“He’s responded well. He’s been absolutely fine in training.

“I’m not going to comment on who was the sole aggressor, whether there was one or not,” Edwards added.

“But the bottom line is that there’s a group of people that care a lot about trying to win games of football. They want to do well for themselves as well as for each other and after the game, things can happen.

“In terms of people I like or don’t like or want around, I think we’re always going to have differences of opinions.

“I think I’m always going to have to deal with it. I don’t have to be best mates with everyone or anyone, especially when you’re someone who’s picking a team that can be quite difficult to do anyway.

“But again, we’ve got a group of players in there that do care, that are with us and with me. I feel that as well, so I’ve got no problem with any of the individuals,” the 43-year-old concluded.

Wolves will go down as one of the worst-ever sides in the history of the Premier League after failing to score in 18 of their 34 league games.
