Is Matheus Cunha injured this weekend? Premier League injury update

Wolves forward Matheus Cunha has already expressed his desire to leave the club at the end of the season.

Wolves now know forward Matheus Cunha will leave the club at the end of the season.

The Brazil international - recognised by FourFourTwo in our list of the best attacking midfielders in the world - has notched a whopping 15 goals for the Wanderers this term and continues to dazzle in attack.

But despite talk over his future, Cunha has been missing as of late for Vítor Pereira's side - so why is that and when will he be back in Premier League action?

Where is Matheus Cunha and when will he return for Wolves?

Cunha will this weekend serve the last game of his four-match ban after he acted in an improper manner before being sent off in his side's FA Cup defeat against Bournemouth back in March.

The former Atletico Madrid man squared up to Cherries defender Milos Kerkez and was later fined £50,000 pounds by the FA for his conduct.

"This is a bad moment because the damage is of course to himself firstly, then to the team," said manager Pereira after Cunha was sent off against the Cherries.

"But he gave us a lot until now and that means that this is the moment to support him. He had a bad moment. Of course, it was a mistake, and he needs to learn from his mistake."

Cunha was initially handed a three-match ban although that was extended by a further game, meaning the Brazilian forward will miss his side's clash with fellow strugglers Ipswich Town.

The 25-year-old will once again be available for selection against Tottenham Hotspur when the two teams meet next weekend on April 13.

In FourFourTwo's view, Wolves have been lucky to cope without the Brazil international but will hope for a huge fee when he leaves the club in the summer transfer window.

We predict he could join Arsenal or Newcastle United, although we wouldn't yet rule out a move to Liverpool either in 2025.
