Gustavo Nunes

Nunes suffered a hamstring injury in late July during a pre-season friendly against Gil Vicente and is set for a spell on the sidelines, coach Keith Andrews said to the media, according to Jack Brace. "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. [It] is really unfortunate for Gustavo because of his injury last season. He is a player we highly regard, really love him as a young man, and want to do our best to try get him ready to make an impact and, most importantly, just be injury free."

Nunes has suffered a hamstring injury in Friday's friendly against Gil Vicente, coach Keith Andrews said to the media. "I'm not sure. I've just spoken to him very briefly, but he's obviously felt his hamstring; that's pretty clear for everyone to see. "It's devastating for him because he's come back slightly earlier from his holiday to get ready for pre-season and put himself in the position. After a frustrating season last year with injuries, hopefully it's nothing too serious, because he's a talented player."

Nunes got the start for Brentford's B team Monday.
