Bruno Nunes, one of the most promising young players in Portuguese football, has suffered a serious injury that will keep him out of action for two weeks.

The midfielder sustained an ankle injury during training on Wednesday and is expected to be sidelined until mid-March. The severity of the injury is not yet known, but it is likely to sideline him for the rest of the season.

Nunes has been a key player for Sporting CP this season, making 24 appearances in all competitions and scoring three goals. He was named in Portugal's squad for the Euro 2021 tournament earlier this year, but he did not make any appearances.

The news comes as a blow for Sporting CP, who have struggled to cope with the loss of their star player. They currently sit second in the Primeira Liga table, but they will now be looking to fill the void left by Nunes.

It remains to be seen how long Bruno Nunes will be out of action, but his absence will undoubtedly be a major setback for Sporting CP. However, they will need to focus on finding a replacement for him while he recovers and look to continue their progress in the league.
