Adama Traores Wolves shirt not having sponsor at Watford was down to kit malfunction as printers forgot to press it

ADAMA TRAORE was forced to play without a shirt sponsor because of a printing error, it can be revealed.

The Wolves star, 23, played in the 2-1 defeat to Watford without the logo of ManBetX on his chest.

And SunSport understands that it was a mistake from the shirt printers that left him without a sponsor, rather than any religious reason or otherwise.

The club signed a “long-term” sponsorship deal with ManBetX last summer.

The betting brand, founded in 2007, also sponsor Crystal Palace and fans wondered if he did not wear the shirt for personal or religious reasons.

Wolves players all have three versions of their matchday shirts.

But there was a printing error getting the sponsor’s logo on to Spaniard Traore’s jersey in what insiders have called a “one-off” blunder.

Wolves will be mindful the error could affect their relationship with their record backer.

Traore, 23, has also revealed he does not do weights after pictures emerged of him as a skinny youngster seven years ago, compared to the stacked adonis of today.

He told Spanish TV station La Sexta: “My training? I don’t do weights.

“It’s hard to believe, but I don’t do weights. It’s genetic. I exercise, but I gain mass very quickly.”
