Manchester City’s 25-year-old Portuguese playmaker, Matheus Nunes, endured a gruesome injury during City’s Champions League match against Copenhagen. The incident occurred late in the game as City secured a 3-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium, booking their spot in the quarter-finals.

Nunes appeared to suffer a broken or dislocated finger, with images showing his left middle finger bent at a 90-degree angle backward at the knuckle. The injury left him in extreme pain and required immediate medical attention from City’s staff.
