Overview
- Wolves called off a first‑team training session on Monday after reports that striker Tolu Arokodare refused to leave the pitch when told not to train with the squad.
- The club brought in extra security at its Compton Park ground and did not include Arokodare in the squad for the friendly against Maidenhead United.
- Arokodare posted on social media that media accounts were inaccurate and said he intends to continue fulfilling his contract and training professionally.
- Wolves have reportedly accepted a loan offer from Trabzonspor that the player declined and have had interest from Serie A clubs including Fiorentina and Genoa, leaving his transfer unresolved.
- The episode comes as FIFA and FIFPRO this month barred using separate training or isolation to coerce moves, a rule that could expose Wolves to financial or sporting sanctions if regulators find a breach.
