Errant Wolves defender George Elokobi has apologised for turning up late for the team meeting before Saturday's game at Blackburn Rovers.

Mick McCarthy has already confirmed that the 23-year-old Cameroonian, as well as his room-mate Ronald Zubar, would be fined for their indiscretion.

McCarthy opted to drop Elokobi to the substitute's bench for the 3-1 defeat at Ewood Park, while Zubar was excluded from the squad altogether.

Elokobi is aware that he made a big mistake, telling the Express & Star: "I'm very disappointed with everything that happened at the weekend.

"I've said sorry to the gaffer and the rest of the boys and would also like to apologise to the fans as well, because I've let everyone down at the club.

"It's my responsibility as a player to be at the team meeting and I wasn't there so I received my just punishment.

"I've taken the gaffer's decision and all I can do is hold my hands up.

"I'm always in early at the training ground and it's not in my character to be late, but it was one of those things."

Zubar, who has failed to make a first-team appearance so far this season following his £2.5million summer switch from Marseille, has also issued an apology and said he "will make sure it doesn't happen again".
