FA confirms Cunha suspension

The FA have issued Matheus Cunha with an additional one-match suspension and fine following his sending off against AFC Bournemouth in the Emirates FA Cup fifth round earlier this month.

In a statement from the FA, it said: "An independent Regulatory Commission has imposed a one-match suspension and £50,000 fine on Matheus Cunha.

"The Wolverhampton Wanderers forward was charged with acting in an improper manner after he was sent off around the 121st minute of their FA Cup tie against AFC Bournemouth on Saturday 1st March.

"The player subsequently admitted the charge. The Regulatory Commission imposed his sanctions following a hearing, and its written reasons for them will be published in due course.

"Matheus Cunha will now be suspended from domestic football until Sunday 13th April."

The suspension means the Brazilian will be absent from Vitor Pereira's squad for the Premier League matches against West Ham United and Ipswich Town, before returning ahead of the top flight fixture with Tottenham Hotspur at Molineux.
