Wolves star Matheus Cunha shares encouraging injury update after latest blow
Wolves striker Matheus Cunha has shared an uplifting update on his injury status after speculation suggested that his season was over.
Suffering defeat to Brentford wasn’t the biggest concern of Wolves’ previous Premier League fixture, as Gary O’Neil was forced to adapt without Matheus Cunha, who was withdrawn due to injury.
The Brazilian, who has been in searing form for the Old Gold, came off after just 20 minutes at Molineux against the Bees after suffering a hamstring injury.
Yesterday, it was announced that the forward had sustained a ‘fairly significant injury’ during the contest, as O’Neil broke the news to the media after the player had undergone medical investigations.
“It’s a fairly significant injury to his hamstring. There’s no timeline on it. I’ve spoken to Matheus a lot and he just wants to keep pushing to get back as soon as he can.”
Wolves were sent into panic by Matheus Cunha injury timeframe
Following O’Neil’s statement, Sky Sports claimed that Cunha’s season was likely to be over due to his injury, a report that has since been deleted.
Sky speculated that the Brazil international was unlikely to play again this season, sending Wolves fans into a frenzy as they imagined the rest of the campaign without their star forward.
Despite the manager not giving a timeframe on the 24-year-old’s suspected return date, journalist Liam Keen was quick to bat away Sky Sports’ suspicions, saying that there is “no expectation” that his season has ended.
Keen’s reassuring information was then echoed by the player himself, who took to social media last night to relay the actual suspected timeline of his recovery.
