Rob Edwards has said his decision to take Tolu Arokodare out of the Wolves team for Friday night’s Midlands derby against Aston Villa was “purely tactical” after the Nigerian forward suffered racial abuse in their last outing.
Arokodare was one of four separate instances of racism across an “appalling” weekend in the Premier League last week, with the striker missing a penalty in Wolves’ 1-0 loss at Selhurst Park and subsequently receiving racist messages from several accounts.
