JUST-IN: Following the events in the dressing room prior to the Bournemouth match, the Wolves captain unexpectedly makes a “step by step” declaration that he wishes to end his contract with the Wolves. However.

Mario Lemina believes Wolves are rediscovering their confidence levels “step by step” after their 4-1 success over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday.

Since failing to win any of their opening 10 league games, Wolves have collected back-to-back wins and unbeaten in four games in the Premier League.

That has propelled them out of the relegation zone for the first time this season and Lemina has sensed an increase in belief following their recent upturn in fortunes.

“Of course and that’s what we want because at the start of the season we only played against the top six,” he said.

“The confidence was really low but now we can see that the confidence is coming back, step by step.

“We need to get points from those games. It’s our league now and we need to get three points every time. The confidence is back and you can tell in training.

“Everyone is positive and we believe we can do something better than what we did in previous games. We’ve shown we are a good team and we can do better.”

Alex Iwobi opened the scoring for Fulham before Matheus Cunha bagged a brace alongside goals from Joao Gomes and Goncalo Guedes.

Lemina had to play as a makeshift centre-back with Wolves missing Craig Dawson, Santi Bueno and Pablo Sarabia due to injury.

But the Wolves skipper has full belief in every player across the squad to compensate for injuries.

“We need to believe in all of the players we have. Dawson, Santi and Pablo were missing and are all really important for us, but there’s other players as well,” the midfielder added.

“JJ (Bellegarde) came back from the bench, is in the starting XI and has an amazing game as well.

“It’s about the whole team, not just one or two players.”
