Mario Lemina has paid tribute to his father following his passing in December.

The Wolves midfielder missed his side's last two Premier League matches following the death on December 29, with Wolves breaking the news on social media prior to the match with Everton.

Lemina's team-mates then paid tribute to the 30-year-old during the game, which they won 3-0, holding up a home shirt with his name and number on the back.

The midfielder had missed the game after travelling to France in order to be with his family.

He has now broken his silence over two weeks on, and thanked those around him for support on and off the pitch as he paid tribute to his father.
