Wolves forward Tolu Arokodare has been given the green light to feature against Aston Villa in tonight’s Premier League fixture.
The Nigeria international had faced online racial abuse after missing a penalty in Wolves’ 1-0 away defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend.
Arokodare has now received psychological clearance from the club to take part in the game at Molineux Stadium.
Head coach Rob Edwards revealed that the entire coaching staff, along with his teammates, offered the striker personal words of support and collectively stood by him throughout the week.
The 25-year-old joined Wolves from Belgian Pro League side KRC Genk last summer and has netted two goals in 18 appearances for the club.
