Wolves forced to CANCEL training as banned star refuses to leave the pitch – and extra security is enforced to keep player away from Compton Park

Wolves’ preparations for life in the Championship descended into farce on Monday when training was reportedly cancelled because a player refused to leave the pitch. Striker Tolu Arokodare reportedly refused to leave the pitch when new manager Cesar Peixoto told him not to train with the first team.And Wolves organised extra security at their training ground, Compton Park, to prevent the 25-year-old from entering, according to local reporter Nathan Judah. Arokodare, who spent last season with Wolves as they were relegated from the Premier League, was reported to get into a physical altercation with team-mate Mateus Mane in April after their 4-0 thrashing by West Ham.He will not be part of the squad travelling to Maidenhead for a pre-season friendly this evening. Manager Peixoto, who joined from Portuguese club Gil Vicente in June, has insisted he will be a firm hand with his players. ‘Firstly, I’m a very demanding coach,’ he said in his first interview. ‘But, I believe in giving others maximum freedom and maximum responsibility. I want us to work as a team and as a unit and build a good environment. This is important to me, but I know very well what I want from the team. I want my team to be organised with and without the ball. ‘Secondly, I want a team with intensity and to be aggressive and win duels. ‘The third one is I want to show the quality of the players. To play an offensive game and to try and press high. To try and be the main character of the games. I want to win games, but I want to win while playing good football. With passion and energy.'[The supporters can expect] a team with ambition. A strong character and identity and a strong idea of the game. A team that never gives up to win three points and to try and make the fans proud.’Arokodare has interest from Fiorentina and Genoa. More to follow.
