Wolves predicted XI v Aston Villa: ‘risky’ change in defence, new signing gets nod
Wolves include Tolu Arokodare in the squad despite online racial abuse, with head coach Rob Edwards confirming his fitness and support from club and fans.

- After his missed penalty at Crystal Palace last weekend, Arokodare suffered racial abuse online, making it a really difficult week as Edwards said he was upset and angered by it.
- Supporters and others reached out, and the team held individual and group chats to support Arokodare, who trained this week and is fit to play.

- Calling for stronger safeguards, Edwards said the Premier League sponsors anti-racism campaigns but must do more to protect Arokodare and others.
