The incident occurred after the match at London Stadium on April 10, where both players had been second-half substitutes. According to reports, Arokodare and Mane exchanged words inside the changing room, and their clash became physical, with Arokodare confronting his teammate until the situation was defused. The specific actions that constituted the physical altercation have not been detailed.
In the aftermath, Arokodare was fined, though the exact amount remains undisclosed, and he was an unused substitute in Wolves' subsequent 3-0 defeat at Leeds on Saturday. It is unclear whether any disciplinary action beyond the fine, such as suspension or internal review, has been taken. Mane later shared a photo of them together on his Instagram story, tagging Arokodare with the caption 'big bro' and adding a love heart and a fingers crossed emoji, suggesting a possible reconciliation, though it is unknown if this indicates a genuine resolution or is merely a public relations effort.
We don't want it (relegation) to happen, but the writing is on the wall.
Wolves' struggles continue under manager Rob Edwards, who replaced Vitor Pereira in November. Since then, the team has won just three of 22 games and taken 15 points in total. ' Wolves remain three points adrift of Burnley in 19th place and will be relegated if West Ham take at least a point against Crystal Palace on Monday night.
We have to continue trying to improve and there are things we are doing better, but we are where we are because of the mistakes.
It is really important we fight in every single moment.
