Portugal's Nuno Mendes 'out until late January' ⚠️

Portugal’s defender #19 Nuno Mendes reacts as he leaves the pitch after sustaining an injury during the Qatar 2022 World Cup Group H football match between Portugal and Uruguay at the Lusail Stadium in Lusail, north of Doha on November 28, 2022. Mendes missed Portugal’s first game, a 3-2 win over Ghana, with muscular fatigue, but was injured during the 2-0 win over Uruguay on Monday.

The Portuguese federation said he suffered “a muscle injury in his left thigh” without specifying his expected recovery time but the source said he would not recover in time to play any further part even in the tournament.“He will continue to stay in Qatar, because the player wanted it, allowed him to stay here with us,” Portugal coach Fernando Santos told a press conference Thursday.

Portugal, already qualified for the knockout phase, face South Korea on Friday, knowing only a point would guarantee them top spot in Group H.
