Lemina Apologizes After Wolves' Loss to West Ham

Wolverhampton Wanderers captain Mario Lemina has issued an apology following a heated altercation after the team's 2-1 defeat to West Ham United, which leaves Wolves 19th in the Premier League. The incident began when Lemina clashed with West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen over a post-match handshake, escalating to Lemina shoving team-mates and confronting first-team coach Shaun Derry. Lemina claimed he was provoked and expressed regret for the events, emphasizing his commitment to the club. The match, dubbed 'El Sackico', increased pressure on Wolves head coach Gary O'Neil, with three consecutive losses leading to speculation about his future. Emotions ran high as both teams faced the possibility of managerial changes, with Lemina's actions undermining the unity of the Wolves squad. The club now prepares for crucial matches against Ipswich and Leicester, essential for their survival hopes.
