Last Thursday, Manchester City’s Matheus Nunes scored for Portugal in their 5-2 friendly win over Sweden.
Portugal will face Slovenia in another friendly tie tomorrow and it’s not clear whether the midfielder will feature in this clash.
Maisfutebol state the Manchester City player was the ‘big absentee’ from the national team’s training session on Sunday, after he complained about a foot injury.
It’s explained Roberto Martínez will have another training session on Monday morning and it needs to be seen whether or not the 25-year-old will be part of it.
Maisfutebol’s claim about the Portugal international’s injury is backed up A Bola, who also add that he underwent treatment on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola and Manchester City will be hoping the player’s foot injury isn’t serious, but they’ll likely want him absent when Portugal face Slovenia on Tuesday.
Nunes left Wolverhampton Wanderers for the Premier League winners towards the end of the last summer window, and has made 23 appearances for the Citizens, which includes six league starts.
Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo say Manchester City midfielder Rodri was also absent from Spain’s training on Sunday due to a personal problem. Sport add this is to do with his family and the national team are hopeful he can be part of training on Monday.
