Amid online speculation about the identity of the individuals, who allegedly carried out the attack on Friday, Wolves have released a statement saying the allegations do not pertain to anyone at the Midlands outfit.

WHAT HAPPENED?

An official statement posted on X by the club reads: "A newspaper article published yesterday (Tuesday) has triggered inappropriate online speculation over the identities of two individuals reportedly under police investigation. Whilst we would not typically comment on ongoing police matters, in order to protect the welfare of our young players, we feel it is necessary to confirm that the allegations do not relate to anyone at Wolves."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><a href="https://t.co/NE9WuRkLE3">pic.twitter.com/NE9WuRkLE3</a>— Wolves (@Wolves) <a href="https://twitter.com/Wolves/status/1783077219293651307?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 24, 2024</a></blockquote>
