Liverpool player Fábio Carvalho did not show up for work at the Portuguese Under-21 team.
«Fábio Carvalho has informed the Portuguese Football Federation, via SMS messages, that he does not intend to continue representing Portugal at under-21 level. This player’s decision was communicated after the call-up for the preparation matches with Czechia became known and Japan,” explains the Portuguese Football Federation.
It should be remembered that the young player was part of the list of 55 pre-called up for the main selection for the 2022 World Cup, but did not integrate the final squad of 26 options available to Fernando Santos.
For this he was called up by Rui Jorge for the Under 21 training matches against the Czech Republic and Japan.
