Wolverhampton Coach Confirms Long Absence for Cunha

Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Gary O'Neil indicated on Wednesday that Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha will be out for a long period due to a hamstring injury. O'Neil stated, "It's quite a significant injury to his thigh. There’s no timeline on it. I've spoken with Matheus a lot, and he just wants to keep working to come back as quickly as possible." He added, "He has already started working, so we will just monitor the situation week by week and day by day." This will be a significant blow for the team, which has been on a stunning run since the beginning of the year, including a 4-2 victory over Chelsea in which Cunha, 24, scored a hat-trick. Cunha suffered the injury during the match against Brentford last Saturday.
