Wolves forward Matheus Cunha has been active on social media during the international break.
The 25-year-old missed out on a call-up to the Brazilian national team squad, as did teammate Joao Gomes.
Summer signing Andre made the squad, leaving his countrymen behind at Wolverhampton as the midfielder prepares to represent Dorival Junior’s side.
At home, other Wolves players have time to reflect on the dreadful start to the season, which Cunha has been doing on social media.

Matheus Cunha sends message to Wolves fans on social media
It’s been a difficult start to the 2024/25 calendar for Gary O’Neil’s players, with uncertainty over the manager’s future looming at Molineux.
The poor form is certain to have taken a toll on the players representing the Old Gold, with Cunha being one to express his dissatisfaction at the position Wolves are in.
Sitting bottom of the Premier League table with just one point, the Midlands club are at risk of being in a relegation battle if form does not dramatically improve.
During the break in play, Cunha took to Instagram to send a message to fans, posting a photo with a caption that read, “Very tired, but you deserve my best. Justice is hidden here. I continue.”
The Brazilian then deleted the post that was on his Instagram story, discarding the message.
It’s been a mentally draining start to the campaign for the players, who are in desperate need of points when the domestic schedule resumes.
Gary O’Neil has to build his team around Cunha
What is puzzling about Wolves’ dreary start to the season is the amount of talent that O’Neil has at his disposal.
A player of Cunha’s calibre is hard to find, with the Brazilian being one of the best at the club currently, particularly going forward.
As uncertainty clouds over Molineux, O’Neil must stick to what he knows, with that being that Cunha can be the squad’s game-changer if he is utilised correctly.
In the 25-year-old, the manager has a fearless and clinical forward to unleash on opposition defences, with a tweak in formation perhaps needed to get the best out of the 2023 signing.
Changes are needed at Wolves, not to just improve form but to lift morale, as the players continue to struggle to impose themselves on the Premier League.
