Manchester City midfielder Matheus Nunes is set to join several of his teammates on the treatment table.
The summer arrival from Wolves has been a bit part player for the Citizens so far this term.
Nunes has been declared unfit for Portugal duty during this international break.
As a result, he will have to spend time on the training ground and gym to get himself into the right shape.
Nunes will now face a race against time to be fit when City take on Liverpool after the international break.
The two sides are meeting next Saturday in the early kick-off in the Premier League.
