Arokodare handed surprise start as Edwards shuffles Wolves for Sunderland

ExpressAndStar.com reports that Rob Edwards has handed Tolu Arokodare his first Premier League start since February for Saturday’s visit of Sunderland.

The Nigeria international returns to the starting XI after reports of a dressing-room altercation with team-mate Matheus Mane emerged last month.

He is one of three changes from last weekend’s 1-0 defeat. Dan Bentley replaces the injured Jose Sa in goal, and Yerson Mosquera comes back after a two-match suspension. Matt Doherty drops to the bench.

Arokodare’s last top-flight start came in the 1-0 loss at Crystal Palace.

Wolves, already relegated, are aiming to end a three-match losing run without scoring.
