Matheus Nunes declares full fitness for City Champions League opener against Porto

Matheus Nunes confirmed he has recovered from an ankle injury and is available for City’s upcoming Champions League fixture against FC Porto. The midfielder, who has transitioned into a defensive role under Enzo Maresca, missed recent action after sustaining the injury during a tackle before the Arsenal match. Nunes recorded 33 minutes as a substitute in the club’s Premier League victory over Bournemouth earlier this term. Looking ahead to the Tuesday evening match at the Estadio do Dragao, he emphasized the squad's readiness to face a disciplined Porto side. The team management has identified Rúben Dias, Erling Haaland, Marc Guéhi, and Gianluigi Donnarumma as the leadership group for the current campaign. Nunes noted that his tactical role remains fluid, depending on the requirements set by the manager for each game.
