Martinez Confirms Nunes Out, Félix Could Feature Ahead of Super Eagles Clash

Martinez Confirms Nunes Out, Félix Could Feature Ahead of Super Eagles Clash

Portugal coach Roberto Martinez has given a fitness update on Matheus Nunes and João Félix ahead of next Wednesday’s friendly with Nigeria’s Super Eagles. Nunes missed Thursday’s training session and is ruled out of Portugal’s match against Chile as a precaution. Félix trained with the squad and could be available for the tune-up game. The Super Eagles drew 2-2 with Poland in their opening friendly after conceding in stoppage time. These matches are part of both teams’ build-up for the 2026 World Cup and Nigeria’s 2027 AFCON qualifiers.

How do you think Portugal will cope without Nunes, and could Félix really fill that midfield gap against the Super Eagles?

It's interesting that Nunes is ruled out as a precaution, but Félix getting fast-tracked for a friendly feels like a bold gamble.

I dey wonder if jumping Félix into starting lineup against a strong side might backfire without proper match rhythm.

If Félix might play, Portugal should monitor his minutes closely and adjust the lineup based on his fitness during this friendly.
