WOLVES midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has returned to training at the club’s Compton training ground after testing negative for coronavirus.
The 20-year-old was ordered to train at home until he could prove he hadn’t contracted the virus after flouting strict lockdown rules by attending a house party in Greenwich with two Love Island TV stars.

Gibbs-White has been warned by his club
Gibbs-White apologised for his actions last week during a frosty phone call with manager Nuno Espirito Santo, who reminded the youngster of his responsibilities to himself and his teammates.
He has now returned to training with the rest of the squad in small groups of four after his 14 day exile.
Some Wolves fans demanded Gibbs-White to be sacked for his irresponsible behaviour but the club has now drawn a line under the matter.
Gibbs-White, who has only made four Premier League appearances this season due to a back injury, was spared a fine by disciplinarian boss Nuno, who prefers to treat his players like adults.
However the midfielder was left in no doubt of the high standards the Portuguese boss expects of his tight-knit squad.
Gibbs-White, from Stafford, was branded a Covidiot after he was filmed at a Bank Holiday gathering, ignoring social distancing rules, after previously urging people to stay at home to protect the NHS.
Also at the bash were former Love Island contestants Georgia Steel and Elma Lazar.
A number of the revellers at the bash could be seen drinking from red cups, with some even inhaling from balloons – although there is no suggestion that Gibbs-White was doing so.

The England Under-21 international posted urging his followers to stay at home on March 24.
He had written: “Please stay at home and only go out if it is completely necessary.
“Now is the time to self-isolate, social distance and do our bit to support the NHS. They stay at work for us – let’s stay at home for them.”
