Cristiano Ronaldo, João Moutinho and Rafael Guerreiro will not be part of the delegation of the selection of Portugal that faces Swiss on Sunday 12 from 1:45 p.m. (6:45 p.m. GMT) at the UEFA Nations League. In addition, you can FOLLOW THE LIVE SCORE HERE.
Cristiano and Guerreiro did not participate in training last Saturday at the Ciudad del Fútbol de Oeiras, on the outskirts of Lisbon, while Moutinho did work with the rest of the group.
At a press conference after training, the Portuguese coach, Fernando Santos, advanced that the three absences are due to “normal management” of the squad.
“They are not physical problems, it is normal management. It would not make sense to have 26 players traveling to Switzerland when only 23 can be on the bench“, he explained.
The Portuguese, first in their group with 7 points, seek to stretch the difference with the rest of the teams, especially Spain, who is second with 5. And despite the aforementioned casualties, their rival on duty is not having a good time in the competition as he has recorded three consecutive losses.
