Bruno Fernandes ruled out of Norway clash
Portugal captain Bruno Fernandes will sit out Sunday's Nations League match with Norway after struggling with a lingering injury against Wales.
Bruno Fernandes is set to miss Portugal's upcoming match, with manager Jorge Jesus citing a "complicated problem" that has troubled the midfielder for several matches.
Fernandes started against Wales on Thursday, a game Portugal won 1-0, but was substituted late on.
Jesus went on to explain the decision to protect his captain rather than risk him in Oslo.
If the injury persists past treatment, Portugal may also have to manage his workload before the Denmark match, though Jesus indicated the aim remains to have his captain fit rather than sidelined for longer.
