Gary O’Neil drops six-word Matheus Cunha injury verdict
Wolves suffered a severe blow during Saturday’s game against Brentford as Matheus Cunha picked up an injury.
Wolves were hit with a serious blow during Saturday afternoon’s 2-0 loss to Brentford.
Already suffering from the loss of Hwang Hee-Chan who wasn’t fit to start here, Matheus Cunha added to the worries as he was withdrawn through injury just 20 minutes into the game.
Cunha’s exit all but killed Wolves, as Brentford went on to win the game thanks to two goals from firstly Christian Norgaard and then Ivan Toney.
Now post-game, Gary O’Neil has provided an update on Cunha’s fitness.

Speaking with the press after the game – with the quotes relayed by journalist Nathan Judah – O’Neil gave a six-word verdict on how Cunha is feeling about his injury.
He said: “He doesn’t think it’s too bad,” which will leave Wolves fans delighted to have avoided what would’ve been such a massive blow.
O’Neil also explained what injury Cunha might have as he mentioned the Brazilian felt ‘something in his hamstring’. He affirmed however that the club will now look at getting scans back before making a diagnosis on how bad it is.
Losing Cunha would be a massive blow for Wolves, but it’s not all bad as he also confirmed that one man is in line to return.
O’Neil updates on Hwang Hee-Chan’s return
While Cunha is a massive blow to the Molineux side, O’Neil has confirmed that he’ll be getting Hwang back next weekend.
He told the press, “Hwang will be available next weekend”.
This will be a massive factor for Wolves with his absence being felt as he spent January at the Asian Cup with South Korea.
However, in his absence, Cunha stepped up and now Hwang may need to return the favour.
