"Manchester City were beaten 3-1 at Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League on Tuesday, another reminder of just how key right-back Matheus Nunes can be to Pep Guardiola's team. Nunes missed out on the Champions League trip to the Arctic Circle as he recovers from the flu, which also kept him out of last weekend's derby defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The 27-year-old has started 17 of Man City's matches in the Premier League this season"
"Man City have lost two and won one of the three league games in which Nunes hasn't featured in the 2025-26 season, and lost two and won one of the three Champions League matches in which he's been unavailable or unused as a substitute. Guardiola is readying his team for a home game against improving Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday and doubts over Nunes' ability to play against his former club remain after City's chastening midweek defeat in Norway."
Manchester City lost 3-1 to Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League while Matheus Nunes was absent as he recovers from the flu that also kept him out of the derby against Manchester United. Nunes, 27, has started 17 Premier League matches this season and is viewed as one of City's most important players. City have lost two and won one of the three league games without him this season, and lost two and won one of three Champions League matches in which he was unavailable or unused. Guardiola will assess Nunes ahead of the home game with Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the club are hopeful he will be available for selection. Nunes was born in Brazil, has 17 Portugal caps, joined Wolves from Sporting CP in 2022 and was signed by City after one season at Molineux for a reported fee of 53 million.
