Arokodare Ready to Face Aston Villa After Racial Abuse

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Edward announced that striker Arokodare is prepared to face Aston Villa after experiencing racial abuse online following a penalty miss during a 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace last weekend. Edward described the past week as particularly challenging for Arokodare, who has received significant support from the club and its fans.

He emphasized the importance of protecting Arokodare and acknowledged the anger and upset surrounding the situation. The Wolves manager noted that Arokodare, a former RKC Genk player, has trained well and is in good physical condition ahead of the match against Aston Villa, which is crucial for Unai Emery's team in their pursuit of a top-four finish.

Edward highlighted the overwhelming support from Wolves fans and the Premier League's ongoing campaign to combat racism against players.
