Nuno Mendes
24-Year-Old

Ligue 1
Fit after fatigue scare
Mendes was withdrawn in the 79th minute against Wales on Thursday due to fatigue rather than injury, coach Jorge Jesus said, per Record. "Nuno isn't a big problem. He came off with fatigue, it wasn't an injury. If he gives me good feedback in recovery training today, I can put him in the match,".
ANALYSIS
Mendes exited the Wales match with fatigue rather than an injury after asking coach Jorge Jesus to take him off, providing an early explanation for the concern surrounding his substitution. Jesus subsequently described the issue as minor and said a positive response in recovery training would allow him to use the PSG full-back against Norway. With no injury identified and no restriction reported beyond the recovery work, Mendes can be expected to push toward returning to the XI provided he shows the necessary physical response in training.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not expected to leave PSG
Mendes is not expected to leave PSG despite Manchester United's interest in his services, according to L'Equipe.
ANALYSIS
Even though Mendes sits quite high on Manchester United's list of potential signings for the summer, the Portugal star seems set to remain with PSG for the foreseeable future. The French giants are in no rush to sell the 22-year-old left-back. This means the Red Devils will have to look at other alternatives to bolster their depth on the left side of the defense.
