Forget Matheus Cunha, another Wolves star is irreplaceable to Vitor Pereira – the stats prove it
Wolves earned a 1-1 draw against Everton in the Premier League on Saturday, with the result leaving the points shared between the two teams.
The big question going into the match was how Wolves would fare without Matheus Cunha, who was serving the first game of his suspension.
Cunha has been instrumental this season, netting 15 goals across all competitions and consistently providing moments of quality when the team needs him most.
His absence left a noticeable gap in the starting lineup, but there was one player whose performance helped fill that void.
Andre Shines in Midfield: Irreplaceable for Wolves
Marshall Munetsi’s first goal for the club salvaged a point for Wolves, but it was Andre’s standout midfield display that stole the show.
Alongside Joao Gomes, Andre was excellent in the engine room, helping to drive Wolves forward and break up Everton’s attacks.
The 23-year-old demonstrated remarkable composure under pressure, effortlessly evading tackles and maintaining possession.
His passing range was exceptional, as he completed 72 out of 74 attempted passes. Defensively, Andre was a force to be reckoned with, winning nine out of 11 ground duels and showing his ability to regain possession for his team.
In recent weeks, Andre has arguably been one of Vitor Pereira’s most influential players, and performances like the one against Everton only underline his importance to the team.
Andre Earns Brazil Call-Up
While his teammate Joao Gomes was notably left out of the Brazil squad, Andre and Cunha both received call-ups for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Argentina.
Since his £21 million move from Fluminense in the summer.
Andre has proven to be an astute signing, showcasing his midfield talent both for Wolves and now on the international stage.
As the international break approaches, Pereira will be hoping that his players return unscathed, as any injuries to key figures could severely impact Wolves’ fight for survival.
While Wolves are currently six points clear of the relegation zone, losing important players could undermine their chances of staying up, which would be a major setback.
For now, the hope is that Andre and his teammates have a successful international break and come back fully fit to help Wolves in the final stretch of the season.
