Wolves Set To Be Without Talisman In Clashes Against Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal

Molineux Stadium is bracing itself for a high-stakes period in the Premier League as Wolverhampton Wanderers face a daunting run of fixtures against some of the league’s biggest names.

The West Midlands outfit has made a promising start under new boss Vitor Pereira, with back-to-back victories over Leicester City and Manchester United lifting them out of the bottom three and into 17th place.

However, Pereira’s team may be without their talismanic striker Matheus Cunha for an extended period, as the Brazilian faces a possible ban from the FA following an incident in the aftermath of a 2-1 defeat to Ipswich Town last month. Cunha has been charged with misconduct after allegedly shoving a member of the Ipswich backroom staff, knocking off the man’s glasses.

If found guilty, Cunha could face a five-game ban, with the FA still investigating the incident. The outcome of the case hangs in the balance, but the fact that no suspension has been handed down so far suggests that Wolves may be able to count on their star man for the forthcoming matches against Tottenham and Chelsea.

However, if the ban were to be imposed after the Spurs game, Cunha would miss out on the clash with Chelsea and potentially even a crucial match against Arsenal on January 25.

Cunha’s absence would be a significant blow to Wolves’ chances of pulling away from the bottom three, as he has netted 10 goals in 18 games this season. His impressive form has sparked transfer rumors ahead of January and the summer, but for now, his future at Molineux remains uncertain.

As Wolves prepare to face Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal in quick succession, Pereira will be keeping a close eye on Cunha’s progress. The Brazilian’s availability will be crucial in determining the outcome of these crucial fixtures, and his team’s title hopes may hang in the balance as a result.
