Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha could make a return from injury at Molineux after the upcoming international break, according to head coach Gary O’Neil.
Wolves are enjoying an excellent 2023/24 season but have lost one of their key players to a hamstring issue, suffered earlier in February, which could derail their hopes of a top-half finish.
O’Neil has previously been coy on a possible return date to action for Cunha but has hinted that the forward could be back on the pitch immediately after March’s international fixtures. Cunha has made a name for himself as one of the most exciting attacking talents outside the Premier League’s big six and hopes to hit the ground running again next month
Cunha’s injury blow
The forward had been in exceptional form before suffering a hamstring strain
Cunha was beginning to establish himself as one of the Premier League’s leading forward options at the time of his injury. On 4th February, the South American netted a hat-trick in Wolves’ 4-2 Premier League victory at Chelsea, which fired the Black Country outfit into the top half.
However, Cunha was hooked the following weekend within 20 minutes of action after sustaining what O’Neil would describe as a “significant injury to his hamstring”. Journalist Dean Jones has recently told GIVEMESPORT (19th February) that Cunha is ‘irreplaceable’ for Wolves, and his absence comes as a significant setback.
