Wolves midfielder Andre has been speaking about his teammate Matheus Cunha.
The pair are two of several Wolves players on international duty in March, with Cunha earning his first international call-up since joining the club.
Andre, on the other hand, has become a regular in the national team, going from strength to strength in defensive midfield for club and country.
Vitor Pereira will hope that his two star players will remain fit and in form over the international break, with Andre recently talking to the media.

Andre shares wishes for Wolves teammate Matheus Cunha
Cunha has promised to deliver for Brazil just as he does for Wolves, which is a hope that his colleague also has.
Speaking to FIFA ahead of Brazil’s World Cup qualification clashes against Argentina and Colombia, Andre commented on Cunha’s call-up.
“Man, I was really happy for him, he deserves the call-up for everything he’s been doing here at Wolverhampton,” Andre said.
“Now I hope he can help Brazil a lot, can do the same thing he’s been doing here, because we need it. They’ll be two tough games.”
MORE WOLVES STORIES
Everyone associated with Wolves will have the same wishes as Andre, who is eager to see his teammate do well at international level.
With 19 goal contributions in 24 appearances this season for Wolves, Cunha will approach the two international games full of confidence and desperate for game time.
The Wolves talisman has been out of action for the previous two games due to suspension, with at least one more game left to sit out at domestic level.
When do Andre and Matheus Cunha play during the international break?
One game of the forward’s suspension remains however, the verdict is not yet in regarding Cunha’s FA charge after his actions against Bournemouth.
The 25-year-old’s recent absences are another reason why he will relish being on international duty with the Selecao, who have some challenging games ahead.
First, Brazil will play Colombia on March 21st, followed by a clash with world champions Argentina on the 26th.
Cunha and Andre won’t face Lionel Messi due to the superstar’s injury however, will have a test on their hands to combat the remainder of the World Cup-winning squad.
Andre has high hopes that his teammate will make an impact just as he does at Molineux, with the world watching the Wolves duo.
