Impact Nunes continued at the right-back spot Saturday, seeing that spot for the fourth straight match. He would provide a solid outing, finding himself in an advanced position to earn an assist on Josko's Gvardiol's goal in the 42nd minute. This gives him four goal contributions on the season, with three of which being assists. He also added two tackles won, two clearances and three interceptions, compiling a decent two-way outing.

Impact Nunes could be making his return Thursday, although that won't be known until game time, as his fitness will be a last-minute call. He will train Tuesday, likely being an option if he feels no pain. He did start in the match before his injury, so he will hope to be an option but will probably only see a bench spot if fit after being a late call.

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 Otávio

JUNE 3, 2024 • 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.

Solid 90 minutes of work Saturday Nunes registered four crosses (one accurate), four shots (two on target) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-1 win against Luton Town.

Impact Nunes saw his first full 90 minutes of play since Jan. 31 on Saturday, putting up a decent stat line despite not gaining a goal contribution in the win. The midfielder will most likely fall to the bench once again in the club's next match after his start against Luton, as he has only appeared in 21 contests all season, only starting in 12 of those while bagging three assists.

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

Impact Nunes returns from a foot injury which kept his status in doubt during the buildup to the match. The midfielder has started sporadically over recent matches, but settles for a role on the bench to begin Sunday's fixture.

MARCH 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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

Impact Nunes is available despite breaking his finger during mid week action against Copenhagen. The midfielder has started just one of City's last four Premier League matches.

Game-time call Sunday Nunes (finger) will be a game-time call for Sunday's trip to Liverpool, according to manager Pep Guardiola."We will know tomorrow - and then we know what we can do. "

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.
