Manchester City midfielder Matheus Nunes has reportedly been arrested on suspicion of stealing a mobile phone at a nightclub in Madrid.

The 26-year-old Portuguese international was allegedly detained in the early hours of September 8 at La Riviera, a popular disco, and taken to a local police station for questioning, Dailymails reports.

His arrest occurred around 5:30 a.m. after Nunes was accused of taking a phone from a 58-year-old man who had attempted to photograph him in the nightclub’s restroom without his consent, according to Spanish daily El Mundo.

Born in Brazil, Nunes is said to have taken the phone in a moment of anger and refused to return it.

El Mundo stated that the police reportedly arrested him after being called to the scene and found the phone in his possession.

Victor Osimhen has suffered a muscle injury that could rule him out of action for a few weeks.

Osimhen picked up a knock and was substituted early in the second half in Galatasaray’s Super Lig encounter against Kasımpaşa on September 28.

The 25-year-old had scored two first-half goals before he was forced off and replaced by Dries Mertens in the game that ended 3-3.

In a statement on Tuesday, Galatasaray said Osimhen was “diagnosed with strain (strain and bleeding) in his upper left posterior muscle group”.

The club added that Osimhen had started treatment, but no exact date for his return to action was revealed.

The striker is expected to miss Galatasaray’s Europa League clash against Latvia’s FK Rīgas on Thursday and may also be unavailable for the club’s league game against Alanyaspor.

Osimhen will also be doubtful for the Super Eagles’ double-header clash against Libya in the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

The first leg is scheduled to be held at the Godswill Akpabio stadium in Uyo on October 11 before the return leg in Libya four days later.

Osimhen scored in the previous round of games when Nigeria defeated the Benin Republic 3-0 in the first game, followed by a frustrating goalless draw against Rwanda.

Samuel Eto’o, president of the Cameroon FA (FECAFOOT), has been issued a six-month ban from attending any international matches involving the country.

According to a statement from FIFA on Monday, Eto’o was sanctioned for breaching two articles of the football governing entity’s disciplinary code.

“The sanction was imposed in connection with the FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup round-of-16 match between Brazil and Cameroon played in Bogota, Colombia, on 11 September 2024,” the statement reads.

The former Barcelona striker was adjudged guilty of “offensive behaviour and violations of the principles of fair play” and “misconduct of players and officials” during the match.

Eto’o and the Cameroon delegation saw red after Brazil was awarded a penalty. The Brazilians later won the game 3-1.

Since Eto’o became the FECAFOOT president in 2021, he has been embroiled in controversy.

In July, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined him $200,000 for violating “the principles of ethics, integrity and sportsmanship” by “signing a brand ambassador contract with the company 1XBET in exchange for remuneration.”

In 2022, he was caught on tape attacking a cameraman outside a stadium at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

A year later, CAF investigated him for alleged improper misconduct following complaints from several stakeholders of Cameroonian football.
