Noni Madueke apologises to Wolves fans for comment about Wolverhampton after Molineux heroics

He was heavily booed throughout by the home fans due to a hastily-deleted Instagram post in the early hours that contained an expletive to describe the midlands city he was staying in.

“I just want to apologise to anyone that I might have offended,” he said in an interview shown by Sky Sports after the game.

“It is just a human mistake, an accident. It wasn’t meant to be out on my socials like that. I’m sure Wolverhampton is a lovely town and I’m sorry.

“In terms of the boos, I expected it but it is part of the game. You have to be able to play under that sort of pressure.”

Blues boss Enzo Maresca, who celebrated his first win in charge, insisted he did not know about the incident.

“To be honest I didn’t know, it’s just been mentioned to me now but I didn’t know during the game about Noni’s social post,” Maresca said at his press conference.
