Matheus Nunes Suffers Shocking Broken Finger Injury, Leaving Fans Devastated
Manchester City’s Matheus Nunes suffered a horrifying injury during the Champions League win over Copenhagen, leaving fans sickened and the player in agony. The Portuguese playmaker started the match and played a crucial role in helping his team secure their spot in the quarter-finals. However, late in the game, Nunes had to be substituted due to a gruesome finger injury.
The injury occurred when Nunes went down on the pitch and yelped out in extreme pain. Images showed just how bad it was, with his middle finger on his left hand bent 90 degrees backwards at the knuckle. TNT Sports commentator Darren Fletcher described it as “his finger was bent grotesquely.”
Manchester City’s medical staff immediately rushed to treat Nunes, who had previously been injured earlier in the season after attempting a spectacular overhead kick. They strapped up his finger, but unfortunately, he was unable to continue playing and was substituted for youngster Micah Hamilton.
Fans flooded social media with messages of support and well wishes for Nunes’ recovery. Many were left shocked and disturbed by the sight of his injured finger. One fan expressed their initial disbelief, saying, “Thought Nunes was just being a bit soft at the time. Just saw his finger,” followed by a sick emoji. Others described it as an awful and painful sight, while some simply wished him a speedy recovery. A user even pleaded, “I don’t want to see Nunes’ finger anymore, thank you!!”
Despite the distressing injury, Manchester City managed to breeze through to the quarter-finals with a 6-2 aggregate victory over Copenhagen. Manuel Akanji scored a powerful goal before Copenhagen’s goalkeeper, Kamil Grabara, made a stinking blunder that led to City’s second goal. Although Mohamed Elyounoussi pulled one back for Copenhagen, Erling Haaland sealed the win for Manchester City with his 41st Champions League goal.
As City progresses in the tournament, fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Matheus Nunes’ injury and hoping for his swift recovery. The incident serves as a reminder of the physical toll that professional footballers endure in their pursuit of success.
