Mario Lemina has one very simple message for Hwang after Como player’s racist remark to Wolves forward
Mario Lemina has sent a public message to Hwang Hee-chan, after the Wolves forward was subject to racism on Monday evening during the training match against Como 1907.
Wolves beat the Italian side 1-0 thanks to a goal from Matt Doherty.
But the game was marred when Hwang reported to the referee that he had heard a racist remark from a Como player.
Upon finding out, Daniel Podence reportedly threw a punch at the player in question and was sent off by the referee.
Podence has come in for a lot of praise from Wolves fans for standing up for his teammate.
Gary O’Neil described the incident as ‘disappointing’ after the game, and said that he had offered Hwang the chance to abandon the game if he wanted. The player wanted to continue.
There has been an outpouring of support for Hwang following last night’s game, and Lemina has taken to social media today to send a message to his teammate that all Wolves fans will get behind.
