Wolves' Matheus Cunha Has Suspension Reduced After Apology and Offer to Replace Broken Glasses

The Brazilian forward's ban was cut from three games to two following a post-match altercation with an Ipswich security staff member.

Matheus Cunha was initially handed a three-match ban for elbowing an Ipswich security guard and breaking his glasses during a post-match altercation on December 14, 2024.
An independent commission reduced the ban to two matches, citing Cunha's personal apology, offer to pay for new glasses, and clean disciplinary record as mitigating factors.
Cunha claimed he acted in self-defense after feeling threatened during the incident but the commission rejected his account, finding no evidence of provocation in available footage.
The Wolves forward was also fined £80,000, reduced from an initial £120,000, as part of the disciplinary action.
Cunha, who has scored 10 goals in 19 league games this season, missed Wolves' 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest on Monday and will also sit out their upcoming FA Cup match against Bristol City.
