On Monday, Arokodare stood his ground when new manager Cesar Peixoto told him not to train with the first team. Wolves organised extra security at their training ground, Compton Park, to prevent the 25-year-old from entering on Tuesday.
"I was very surprised and disappointed to see the media reports today, many of which were inaccurate,” Arokodare posted on social media. “Throughout my career, I have always taken great pride in conducting myself professionally and maintaining the highest training standards.
FIFA reached an agreement with FIFPRO, the worldwide players' union, to better protect players from what is deemed an 'abusive practice'. Clubs could face financial or sporting punishments under the new protections unless there is a genuine sporting reason for the player's exclusion. Banishing them from first-team training cannot now be used as a tactic just to force them to find another club.
