The incident occurred after Wolves lost 4-0 to West Ham on April 10 at the London Stadium. Arokodare and Mane, who had both been second-half substitutes during the game, exchanged words inside the changing room after the match. Their clash became physical, with Arokodare confronting his teammate further until things were eventually defused.
Arokodare was subsequently fined after the incident. He was then an unused substitute in Wolves' 3-0 defeat at Leeds on Saturday. In a gesture suggesting reconciliation, Mane later shared a photo of them together on his Instagram story and tagged Arokodare with a caption including 'big bro' and emojis.
The altercation comes amid Wolves' poor form and looming relegation threat. Since Rob Edwards replaced Vitor Pereira in November, Wolves have won just three of 22 games and taken 15 points in total. Wolves remain three points adrift of Burnley in 19th place.
Wolves will be relegated if West Ham take at least a point against Crystal Palace on Monday night. How the altercation has affected team morale and dynamics within the Wolves squad, and what the future holds for Arokodare at Wolves given the incident and the club's impending relegation, are questions that remain unanswered.
