Wolves midfielder Mario Lemina will not feature for the club during the January transfer window. Manager Vitor Pereira has confirmed that Lemina, who recently apologized for an altercation with an opponent, will remain out of the team until the transfer window closes. Pereira stated that he needs players committed to the project and that Lemina's mind is not currently focused on Wolves.
Wolves midfielder Mario Lemina will not be playing for the club during the January transfer window, according to manager Vitor Pereira. The Gabon international has since apologized to Pereira and the rest of the team, expressing his willingness to contribute his best until a resolution is found. On Monday, Pereira stated: 'For me, he is out until the end of the market and when the market closes, I will see if he is my player.
'If he is it will be a problem I solve because he is a good player, or he goes out and is not my problem. 'I don't want a player with doubts. I cannot play with a player that has doubts in his mind. I want players committed with the project. 'He is training but at the moment the mind is not here because he still wants to move and go. I must be honest and say what happened. I will wait until the end of the market and see.' The transfer window is scheduled to close at 23:00 GMT on Monday, 3 February, with Wolves facing Arsenal and Aston Villa before then. Lemina's absence stems from an incident after a 2-1 defeat to West Ham at the London Stadium, where he had an altercation with Jarrod Bowen following the final whistle. This incident occurred during the tenure of former manager Gary O'Neil, who was replaced by Pereira on 19 December. Since then, Lemina has only seen 31 minutes of playing time under Pereira's leadership. On Friday, Pereira revealed that Lemina had apologized for his actions, stating: 'We can commit mistakes in life, I did some mistakes in my life,' he said. 'We must give him the opportunity to show in the act, not with words. 'I believe he spoke with his heart and he will try, I am here to see if he can or not. If he can help, OK; if he cannot, I prefer to go with another one who is committed. 'Mario has quality, he can bring us physicality in the midfield, technical quality. It depends on his mind. I hope until the end of the season or the end of the month he will be able to help us.'
