Wolves boss Gary O'Neil is confident Matheus Cunha will be back next month.

The striker suffered a knee a fortnight ago.

I hope he's available straight after the international break," O'Neil told the Express & Star.

But there's a lot of things that can go well, or not so well, between now and then.

In an ideal world we'd have him back and around it after the internationals.

If it doesn't go quite so well, obviously time can be added to that. There will be no risks taken with Matheus Cunha.

As soon as the medical team are happy and as soon as Matheus Cunha is happy, he'll be back, so lets see.

There is possibly potential for him to be back around training before the international break.

I understand the national coach's comment, because for him to be ready to go away and play international football at that time would be very quick as he wouldn't have done much for us.

Hopefully he'll be back really quickly for us but lets see how the next few weeks unfold."
