Last weekend, Wolves lost to Bournemouth in the FA Cup on penalties, and Vitor Pereira’s team will need to return to the Premier League right away.
Matheus Cunha was sent off for yelling at Milos Kerkez during a thrilling match at Vitality Stadium, letting his team down right before the shootout.
Cunha has been given a three-match suspension, which means he will miss the three crucial games in the fight to stay in the league: Everton, Southampton, and West Ham.
With 15 goals under his belt, Vitor Pereira will need to come up with a strategy to replace the Brazilian, which may include starting Hwang Hee-chan.
With just two Premier League goals this season due to injury and poor form, the 29-year-old South Korean may now take advantage of Everton’s vulnerability.
Without Matheus Cunha, Hwang has a great opportunity. Hwang was a sensation last season, matching Cunha’s record of 12 Premier League goals and drawing interest from European teams.
Marseille’s proposal for Hwang was turned down by Wolves because Gary O’Neil considered him an essential component of his strategy. Unfortunately, though, the former Leipzig player hasn’t produced the necessary results.
Wolves supporters have criticized Hwang for his performances, despite the fact that injuries haven’t helped him. He needs to move past that for the remainder of the season.
Cunha has a rare opportunity to win over his management and solidify his position in the team during his absence before a crucial time. He needs to start producing quality in the latter third, starting this weekend against Everton, in order to achieve that.
