Man City star Matheus Nunes to face no further action amid exaggerated 'arrest' reports

Reports in Spain today claim Manchester City midfielder Matheus Nunes was arrested last month after an altercation in a Spanish nightclub.

Matheus Nunes will face no action from Spanish authorities after reports that he was arrested in Madrid over the last international break were exaggerated.

Manchester City midfielder Nunes was not called up for the Portugal squad last month so enjoyed some free time while the Blues were not in action. On Wednesday, it was reported that Nunes was involved in an altercation in a Spanish nightclub which was said to have ended in Nunes' arrest in handcuffs and questioning at a police station.

However, MEN Sport understand Nunes was not arrested and police took no action when responding to a call regarding the alleged incident.

The reports by El Mundo, relayed by the Daily Mail, claim Nunes took a man's phone in the toilets of a nightclub after they had tried to take a picture of the City man. It was further claimed that Nunes then refused to return the phone which led to police being called and Nunes being arrested, before later being released a few hours later.

The El Mundo report also suggests Nunes could face charges and a trial regarding the incident. However, it is understood that the incident has been exaggerated and Nunes only pushed the phone out of the man's hand after asking him to stop taking pictures.

Police were called but did not arrest Nunes, nor will he face any further action in relation to the incident.

Nunes made his second start of the season on Tuesday night in Bratislava as City beat Slovan 4-0 in the Champions League. It follows his start and goal against Watford in the Carabao Cup a week earlier as the Portuguese looks to establish himself further in Pep Guardiola's plans.
