Wolverhampton Wanderers talisman Matheus Cunha has been banned for an additional game in a small boost for Leicester City in their fight against relegation.
The Foxes need to get their own house in order first having lost their last six Premier League games without scoring a goal.
Leicester have won two, drawn one and lost 13 of Ruud van Nistelrooy’s 16 league matches and now look likely to make an immediate return to the Championship.
Their only hope is to close the nine-point gap to 17th-placed Wolves with an improved run of form in the remaining nine games of the season.
Wolves were languishing inside the bottom three when Vitor Pereira took charge in December but a series of good results have pulled them away from danger.
Cunha’s goals have been essential to Wolves’ improvement but the Brazilian has displayed petulance to earn two avoidable red cards. Cunha earned a two-game ban for forcibly removing an Ipswich town staff member’s glasses in December and he was recently sent off for violent conduct in Wolves’ FA Cup defeat to Bournemouth.
The FA have increased Cunha’s latest ban to four matches, meaning he will miss Wolves' games with West Ham and relegation rivals Ipswich Town before returning against Tottenham on April 13.
