Bruno Fernandes Injury: No precise timeline to return

Fernandes (hamstring) doesn't have a precise timeline to return since coach Ruben Amorim didn't want to precise it in the press conference. "No, not for this game. They are recovering. I don't think that it is going to take a lot of time. I don't want to say [how long Bruno will be out]. I have an idea of course, we will see."

Fernandes was forced off at halftime during the clash against Aston Villa after suffering a hamstring injury. The playmaker is still in the recovery process from that injury, which appears to be minor based on the words of coach Ruben Amorim. It remains to be seen how much time the Portuguese will miss, with Mason Mount likely taking on a larger role while he is out and Manuel Ugarte seeing increased playing time in the heart of the game.
