Gustavo Nunes Fernandes Gomes Injuries

'I'm not sure [how serious it is]. I've just spoken to him very briefly, but he's obviously felt his hamstring; that's pretty clear. Hopefully, it's nothing too serious, because he's a talented player.' 'Exact time scale, I'm not entirely sure. Certainly not in the Kevin and Caoihmin [territory] of short-term. It will be more significant than that; it will be weeks.' 'Gustavo is progressing well. The forward is back on the grass but not yet ready to train with the squad.' 'Gustavo will return to team training next week. The forward will be monitored over the coming weeks, having missed a block of pre-season.' 'Nunes has trained well this week. He will feature for Brentford B in their upcoming games to build fitness and match sharpness.' 'Nunes' last appearance came in the pre-season against Gil Vicente. He may be available [for] the matchday squad or to feature for Brentford B in upcoming matches after returning to first-team training this week.'

'Hickey, Rico and Nunes all came through well [for the U21s], but it’s just too short for them to be involved in the Newcastle game. All three looked good and ticked the physical boxes.' 'The three guys who are getting closer - Aaron Hickey, Igor Thiago and Nunes - are progressing and going in the right direction... Gustavo is the closest of the three. Let’s see.'

'Gustavo is a player I believe can help us soon - he is nearly ready. He's got a minor stress fracture in the back, but it's not a big issue. He will not be able to be on the bench for a few weeks.' 'Nunes is a longer-term one.' 'Both of them are running around on the pitch, but not with the team. That’s positive.' 'Gustavo looks bright. [He] will play an in-house game on Wednesday.' Gustavo Nunes also played 45 minutes against Cardiff, but Saturday comes 'a little bit too early' for the Brazilian. 'He had [a] stress fracture in his lower back, which hasn't healed as well as we wanted it to. He could probably progress, but he's very young, so there's no reason to force it. He's got plenty of time, and we can be patient.' 'He is not on the grass, so it will take him a bit longer before he's back. I don't know the exact timeframe, if I'm honest.'
