However, following the incident, Mane posted on his Instagram story hailing the Super Eagles striker.

According to reports from Official AGT on X, he wrote, “Mateus Mane on IG to @toluarokodare - 'Big bro’❤️🤞🏿, Brothers in football.”

Despite this, Wolves imposed a financial penalty on the striker following an internal investigation into the matter.

The disciplinary action and his lack of playing time have raised questions about his standing within the team under the current coaching staff.
