Portugal have suffered another setback following their heavy 4-1 defeat to Denmark in Braga. Captain Bernardo Silva will miss the team's next match after being declared unfit to face Wales. The Real Madrid midfielder will return to Madrid in the coming hours, with the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) confirming that he has been ruled out alongside suspended players Ruben Dias and João Palhinha.
"Bernardo Silva underwent a clinical evaluation and was declared unfit by the Portuguese Football Federation’s Health and Performance Department, and was subsequently released," read the statement published on the federation's official website. No further details about his condition were provided. Bernardo will return to Spain to receive treatment from Real Madrid's medical staff.
The midfielder did not start against Denmark, coming on in the 79th minute to replace Bruno Fernandes. Despite playing for just 11 minutes, he managed to score Portugal's only goal in stoppage time, reducing the margin of defeat. After the final whistle, the experienced midfielder was seen performing exercises and testing himself on the pitch.
"It wasn't a good game, we're not going to lie," the Portugal captain admitted after his team's first defeat in this Nations League campaign.
