Roger Johnson will not be stripped of the Wolves captaincy, despite turning up for training on Monday under the influence of alcohol.
The struggling Midlands outfit are in a relegation dogfight, and manager Terry Connor has admitted that he is disappointed with the skipper’s conduct, but that the issue has been dealt with internally.
“Roger reported for work not fit to train properly. I would be disappointed with any player in that situation. I said to him what he did was unacceptable,” he told the club’s official website.
“The matter was dealt with on Tuesday, he has apologised, he knows he did wrong and has taken his punishment.
“There are no immediate plans to change anything. He carries on as captain for the foreseeable future.
“Since Monday, Roger has prepared well all week and he will be under consideration for Saturday’s game,” the trainer concluded.
Wolves take on Blackburn at Molineux this weekend, in what is set to be a relegation six-pointer.
