First leave start this season
Nunes had one cross (zero accurate) and two tackles in Sunday's 1-0 win against Manchester United.
Analysis: Nunes was in the starting XI for City on Sunday and would earn his first start of the season in league play, finally appearing fully fit after an injury to begin the campaign. He would see a decent amount of time on the ball while keeping a clean sheet with his club, recording two interceptions, two tackles won and five clearances along the way. Once he is more comfortable following the injury, he should add a bit more presence in the attack, a true two-way threat following two great seasons in the right-back role.
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.
