Fully available going forward
Nunes revealed he's fit and available going forward during Monday's presser ahead of the UCL opener against Porto on Tuesday. "I am good, 100% now. It was my ankle the day before Arsenal. I had a tackle and it was sore for a while but now I am fine."
Analysis: Nunes was on the bench in Saturday's 1-0 win over Coventry City but was an unused sub, and he's been limited to just 33 minutes of action off the bench in the current Premier League campaign. If healthy, he's expected to be the first choice on the right side of the defensive line in Enzo Maresca's 4-2-3-1 scheme.
Finds bench role
Nunes (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Coventry City.
Analysis: Nunes returned to the matchday squad after coach Enzo Maresca confirmed he was back following the undisclosed injury that had kept him out of the clash against Crystal Palace. The defender's availability creates some uncertainty on the right side of the defense, but the club opted to manage his minutes carefully rather than handing him a full workload straight away, with Abdukodir Khusanov expected to retain his starting role until Nunes returns to full speed.
