Sees 14 minutes off bench Cunha registered 14 minutes of play in Tuesday's 1-1 draw to Burnley.

Impact Cunha was finally back on the field Tuesday after a decently long absence due to a hamstring, as he found a role on the bench, earning 14 minutes of play late into the contest.

Impact Cunha was just barely left out of the squad list this weekend after striving for a return but is now expected to be an option Tuesday after a five-match spell on the sidelines due to a hamstring issue. This is a huge boost to the squad for the club, as they are limited in the attack due to injuries and are now gaining back a regular starter just six weeks after his injury despite being expected to miss 10 to 12 weeks with the issue. His status in the squad will be a game-time decision, as there is a chance he gets into the starting XI, although the club may choose to preserve him on the bench, getting minutes as a substitute while taking his return cautiously.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

Held out again Cunha (hamstring) is out for Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Cunha will reside on the sideline for a further week despite the reports of a possible return against Villa, now missing his fifth straight contest due to hamstring problems. However, with the player being in contention for the team sheet Saturday, that should mean he has a decent chance of making his return on Tuesday when Wolves face Burnley.

Impact Cunha is back significantly ahead of schedule and could be an option even in the starting XI on Saturday. With another match coming on short rest Tuesday there's no guarantee that he plays Saturday as he likely won't be fit enough to play in both matches. With other attacking options still sidelined Cunha could be required to take on a larger role sooner than expected in April.
