Gustavo Nunes Injury: Far from return

Nunes suffered a hamstring injury in late July during a pre-season friendly against Gil Vicente and is set for a spell on the sidelines, coach Keith Andrews said to the media, according to Jack Brace. "Exact time scale, I'm not entirely sure. Certainly not in the Kevin and Caoihmin territory of short-term. It will be more significant than that, it will be weeks. [It] is really unfortunate for Gustavo because of his injury last season. He is a player we highly regard, really love him as a young man, and want to do our best to try get him ready to make an impact and, most importantly, just be injury free."

Nunes is expected to miss several more weeks to recover from the hamstring injury he suffered against Gil Vicente in late July during a pre-season friendly. This is sad news for the attacking midfielder since he has been dealing with several injuries since last season and will miss the start of the 2025/26 season. That said, his absence will not impact the starting XI, since Nunes is expected to have a rotational role once fully back fit.
