Wolves forward Matheus Cunha is expected to play against Leicester today.
Ugly scenes at full-time of the home loss to Ipswich last time out saw Rayan Ait-Nouri was shown a second yellow card and Cunha was involved in a confrontation with Ipswich staff.
The following day manager Gary O’Neill was sacked for the result, with Vitor Pereira appointed as his successor two days later.
Cunha was seen confronting members of Ipswich’s security team after his side had fallen to a last-gasp loss at Molineux.
The FA were quick to charge the forward. A statement on Tuesday read: “Matheus Cunha has been charged with misconduct following the Premier League match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Ipswich Town on Saturday, 14 December.
“The forward allegedly acted in an improper manner after the final whistle. He has until Thursday, 19 December, to provide a response.”

The FA have subsequently charged the forward for acting “in an improper manner” and he has until Thursday, 19 December to respond to the charge.
Cunha has been a key player for Wolves this season, registering eight goals and three assists in 16 appearances. He has started all but one game for the club this term, starting their league opener against Arsenal on the bench.
Wolves, who are second from bottom having won just twice this season, face a massive trip to Leicester City this weekend. The Foxes are hovering just above the relegation zone with 14 points from 16 games.
