New blow for Portugal, which must play in the semi-finals of the World Cup against Turkey. Already deprived of Ruben Days, Renato Sanches and Nelson Semedothe national coach Fernando Santos will have to deal without the experienced central defender Pepe (39 years old, 123 selections).

The media Record announces that the current captain of FC Porto has tested positive for Covid. It’s Lille Tiago Djalo who will replace him.
