Wolves to find solutions for Matheus Cunha's ban

The star attacker - who has notched 10 goals so far this season - will miss Monday's Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest as well as the FA Cup trip to Bristol City.

Although it was a more lenient punishment than many feared, Pereira must still rely on other attacking talents and the head coach is confident he has the players to replace Cunha.

He said: "We know Cunha is a very important player for us, but I must find in the squad players, and we have players, that can do it with other skills, with other qualities. They can do it.

"For sure, he is very important because he can decide a game in a second.

"But we need to find the organisation and the dynamics to play with another player."

Hwang Hee-chan has scored in back-to-back games as he enters is best form of the season at the perfect time and Pereira has backed him to continue performing.

"He is very important for us," Pereira added.

"As a striker, if he gets the confidence, he changes everything.

"He works a lot. He is a hard worker, he knows tactically how to help the team.

"He needs goals to be confident. Goals to breathe, but I am very happy for him."

Midfielder Tommy Doyle - who has been very complimentary of Pereira and his use of the Wolves squad in his first three games - says the team must deal with Cunha's absence, as he also backs Hwang to perform.

Doyle said: "We've got to step up. That's the whole point in having a squad.

"It's obviously difficult to replace his certain qualities, but we'll have to find a way. That's part of the game, and I'm sure we will."

"He's brilliant," Doyle added when asked about Hwang.

"It's about getting the best out of him, he has some amazing qualities.

"To score 12 goals last season and then not be in it as he was, was a little bit crazy.

"He's scored two in two now. He will get your goals, as will Jorgen and Guedes can even play there as well.

"We've got three strikers there that can play across the front line, because Channy can even play in that 10 position. There's goals up there.

"As for him, just keep working hard every day and he'll get his chances under this manager, which is the most important thing.

"It's two in two, which is what you want from a forward."
