Willy Boly went AWOL on Sunday in an attempt to force through a move away from Wolves.
Boly failed to turn up at Molineux, even though boss Bruno Lage named the Ivory Coast defender in his matchday squad and had planned to use him as a substitute. Wolves rejected a £1million bid from Nottingham Forest for the centre-half a week ago and Lage admits he wants to leave.
“He has a proposal in his hands and he wants to go,” said Lage, who refused to say if he would fine him. “That’s my feeling when I talk to him. I’ve said to him ‘look I understand you want to move, but you need to understand that I need to put you in the squad, I need a top player like you on the bench’. After that he made his own decision.”
