Portugal calls up Manchester City's Matheus Nunes for European Championship
Portugal has called up Manchester City midfielder Matheus Nunes for the European Championship to replace the injured OtávioJUNE 3 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Limited role with City Nunes appeared in 17 games (seven starts), notching two assists on nine chances created to go along with nine shots and 19 crosses.
Impact Nunes had an underwhelming season after his move from Wolves, only serving in more of a reserve role, appearing 17 times but going unused 18 times. Luckily for the midfielder, he could earn more time in the coming season, as his versatility allows him to play in multiple spots across the midfield, and with some players possibly on the transfer block, that could open up more space for the midfielder to shape out a decent rotational spot, likely still not being ready to start. He also adds quite a bit with his set-piece chances, although he will likely not get many chances, with Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, Julian Alvarez and Bernardo Silva all having priority over him.

Among substitutes Sunday Nunes (foot) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Arsenal.

Concerns of foot injury Nunes was held out of Portugal's latest match due to an apparent foot issue, per Joe Bray of the Manchester Evening News.
Impact Nunes is now in question for Sunday's tilt against Arsenal, as he was left out of Portugal's squad due to an apparent foot issue, but has yet to return to City for further testing, which does bring a little hope he will be an option against the Gunners. With that being said, we will have to wait on his testing to see if he is holding a severe injury or if he will return this weekend, with no timetable being available either. The midfielder will now be one of the numerous City players who will face a late fitness test in the build-up to the match, hoping to maintain his spot on the bench or possibly get in the starting XI based on the outcomes of his teammate's complications.

Impact Nunes clearly broke his finger during a Wednesday clash with Copenhagen in the Champions League. While he certainly could play with a splint on the finger it would be more of a pain management concern for Nunes. He also hasn't been a major starting option, with Phil Foden set to return to the starting XI after being rested mid-week.

Forced off Nunes (undisclosed) was forced off holding his fingers during the second half of Wednesday's clash with Copenhagen.
Impact Nunes appeared to be in substantial pain when he was forced off the pitch. The winger hasn't seen many starts in the Premier League, so he shouldn't be too hard to replace. Michah Hamilton came on to replace Nunes, but in the Premier League it would be Phil Foden who is the preferred option on the left wing.

Assist in win Nunes assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and four chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Burnley.

Nunes now has two assists in the Premier League this season, with his last coming back on Sep. 23 against Nottingham Forest. The midfielder has started in three of the club's past six matches and will hope to keep finding this much time in the starting XI, as after a hefty workload to start the season, he saw most of his minutes come off of the bench up until this point.

Appears off bench Nunes came off the bench during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Aston Villa.
Impact Nunes returned to action despite being labeled as weeks away by manager Pep Guardiola. It's a great sign for his recovery that Nunes was able to return so quickly and it should mean he can be back to a full matchload for what will be a very busy December schedule.
DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Still weeks away Nunes is weeks away from a recovery according to manager Pep Guardiola. "Matheus [Nunes] is weeks, days."
Impact Nunes seems to be the most seriously injured of the trio Pep mentioned. It's a tough loss for the midfielder after being deemed unfit for the Portugal squad. Still the City team is deep and losing Nunes is little more than an inconvenience with the plethora of other midfield options that can fill in for his minutes.
