A statement from the Portuguese FA read: "The midfielder is unfit for Portugal's two games. Matheus Nunes was declared clinically unfit for games against Liechtenstein and Iceland after undergoing tests."

What Guardiola has said: "He says he feels really good, but still isn't training or running much. I'd say he's the last one to come back and train with us. I won't say two weeks, one week. We don't put pressure, the doctors say next step. No pressure, recover, it's not necessary to do the bad decisions to come back early. Step by step."
