A real essential player in the squad Luis EnriqueNuno Mendes will not be present to face theOL Sunday evening. His knee injury forces him to rest and he is also out of the rally with Portugal next week. A total heartbreak for Roberto Martinez which relies a lot on the talent of this player.
Nuno Mendes forfeits, disaster for Roberto Martinez
This season, Nuno Mendes has proven himself to be an indispensable player for Luis Enrique and he is of course called up with Portugal in normal times. Absent this time, his package does not help matters at all Roberto Martinez. “My assessment of Nuno Mendes is very subjective, it’s like talking about my son. But I think that at the moment, there is no other left-back in the world capable of defending one-on-one and who, with the ball at his feet, can play as number 10 in the center, and who is also efficient on the wing. begins the coach at a press conference.
“He’s probably the best in the world”
After his injury, Nuno Mendes will be forced to be away from the field for several weeks, without a more precise date being known. The Portuguese is considered one of the very best players in his position. “He is very good in the air and can play in central defense. So, for me, he is the best player in the world, a decisive player for his club. There is no one to replace Nuno Mendes, he is probably the best in the world. We have to find solutions, find balance on the wing” continues Martinez.
