NUNO TAVARES NEWS

Explosive in Milan game Tavares assisted twice to go with three key passes, seven crosses (one accurate) and two tackles (both won) in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Milan.

Impact Tavares was unleashed after sitting on the bench for two consecutive games due to an imperfect pre-season preparation and was uncontainable on the wing and set up Taty Castellanos and Boulaye Dia with two square balls after sprinting past his direct opponent. He left a little early but seemed to be simply cramping up. He'll be the clear starter at left-back if he stays healthy.

Joins Lazio Taves has moved to Lazio on loan with a conditioned obligation to buy from Arsenal, the team announced.

Impact Tavares departs again after spending time at Nottingham Forest and Marseille in the last two campaigns. He'll have better chances of sticking around permanently this time. He posted 16 crosses (two accurate), 11 tackles and seven shots (one on target) in eight matches at his previous stop as he was derailed by injuries. He'll be at the top of the depth chart in his role if he stays healthy.

Back from loan Tavares will return to Arsenal following the end of his loan at Nottingham Forest.

Impact Tavares has another year on his Arsenal contract, so he'll likely be loaned out again next season. He had a bit more success at Marseille the prior campaign when he made 23 starts, which towers in comparison to eight total league appearances at Forest. When healthy, he could find minutes at a Premier League club, but he missed more than half of the last season due to multiple injuries.

Impact Tavares' current injury is still unknown, but he appears to most likely be out for the next couple of weeks following the manager's comments after Saturday's match against Aston Villa. This is a tough blow for the defender, as just four matches ago, he returned from a groin issue that kept him out 14 games previously. The club still hasn't put an exact date for his return, but they will hope it comes before the end of March, as he appears to be a regular starter when healthy but has only appeared seven times all campaign compared to the 18 games he has been absent for due to complications.

Impact Tavares will be back in the squad for the club's next contest, no longer being loan-locked after playing his parent club, Arsenal. The defender will most likely return to the bench at this point, only appearing four times all season with two starts. He will hope to get more time moving forward but should not be expected to be a regular sight on the pitch.

Loan locked Tavares is ineligible for Tuesday's clash with Arsenal, his parent club.

Active in training Tavares (groin) was active for a portion of team training ahead of Sunday's trip to Liverpool, according to manager Steve Cooper."They are back in part-training, not full training,...

Impact Tavares wasn't back in full training so a return for Sunday's trip to Liverpool is heavily unlikely.

Still out with muscle injury Tavares missed Sunday's match against Crystal Palace with a muscle injury, confirmed managed Steve Cooper.

Impact Tavares suffered the injured a couple weeks ago and while they said it was less serious than originally feared, that could still mean two weeks or a month out, especially if it's his hamstring.

Impact Tavares went down midway through the first half, and while he tried to continue, he ultimately hobbled off the pitch to be replaced by Gonzalo Montiel. Further tests will be needed to confirm the severity of the injury, but if it's a muscular injury, it wouldn't be surprising if he has to miss one or two games.

Joins Forest on loan Tavares has joined Nottingham Forest on loan from Arsenal for the rest of the season.

Impact Tavares gets a chance to stay in the Premier League this season after appearing in 31 league and six Champions League matches last season at Marseille. It's another depth option for Forest, who seem to be adding a new full-back every day, though Tavares probably will have the leg up on Ola Aina for starts and this likely means the eventual dropping of Harry Toffolo and Neco Williams from league starts.

Scores off bench in rout Nuno Tavares scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Thursday's 6-1 win over Toulouse.

Impact Nuno Tavares is a regular starter for Marseille, but he came off the bench in this one, although he still found a way to crack the scoresheet -- he received a great cross from Jonathan Clauss and drilled it home past Maxime Dupe. Tavares has decent upside due to his constant attacking runs on the left side, and it wouldn't be shocking if he moves back to the starting lineup when Marseille takes on Montpellier on Jan. 1.
