The English Football Association (FA) announced on the 31st (Korea time) that it had suspended Wolverhampton striker Matheus Cunha for two games and fined him 80,000 pounds (about 148 million won). Cunha will not be able to play in the third round of the FA Cup organized by the FA.
The reason why Cunha was disciplined was because of his actions in the collision on the field. Wolverhampton lost 1-2 to Ipswich in the 16th round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England on the 15th. Wolverhampton sank into the worst of the losses, losing four in a row.
Furious Wolverhampton players clashed with Ipswich Town players and security personnel from Ipswich after the match. Global sports media The Athletic said at the time that `Cunya was furious after the game and hit Ipswich Town security in the face. Ipswich believe the FA will investigate this.

The disciplinary announcement briefly cost Wolverhampton his team's ace this season, Cunha. Cunha joined Wolverhampton on a loan in January 2023. Cunha, who played for Atletico, performed in compliance at Wolverhampton and confirmed a full transfer in July 2023. The full-fledged performance began in the first season of the transfer. In the 2023-2024 season, Cunha led the Wolverhampton offense with Hwang Hee-chan, who scored 12 goals in the league alone. He scored the most offensive points in his team with 14 goals and eight assists in 36 games.
He has been reborn as the team's ace this season. Cunha has scored 10 goals and 3 assists in 19 games by playing in the front line, second line and side. He is an indispensable player in Wolverhampton's offense. As Hwang Hee-chan's slump overlapped, his dependence on Cunha grew. In the match against Manchester United on the 27th, he even scored a fantastic corner kick goal. It was almost the same as Son Heung-min's score against Manchester United. He even helped Hwang Hee-chan score his first goal of the season.
Cunha's absence is bound to be a bad news for Wolverhampton, who has been on a good track with three undefeated games. Since Hwang Hee-chan recently rebounded by scoring in two consecutive games, we should expect to see if he can reduce Cunha's vacancy a little.

With Victor Pereira's appointment, a crisis has come for Wolverhampton, who has a chance to turn around. Whether Cunha's absence can be overcome and Wolverhampton can properly turn upward is expected to be important in the future schedule.
