Blow for City! Star midfielder Matheus Nunes suffered a finger injury during their Champions League win against FC Copenhagen. [Video]

Manchester City’s win against Copenhagen was overshadowed by a nasty finger injury to midfielder Matheus Nunes.

The Portuguese star, who started the match, was subbed off in the second half after a fall. Gruesome photos of his broken finger circulated on social media.

Despite Nunes’ setback, City secured a comfortable 3-1 victory (6-2 on aggregate) and a place in the Champions League quarterfinals.

Goals from Akanji, Alvarez, and Haaland sealed the win for Guardiola’s dominant side.
