Comes another bad news for the Portugal, a possible opponent of Italy with a view to world qualifiers. Italy and Portugal, in fact, could compete in the eventual playoff for qualifying for Qatar 2022.
After the news of the unavailable Ruben snows, also comes the official on the absence of another player for Portugal. This time it’s about Pepewhich turned out positive at Covid-19 and will therefore have to skip the commitments with his national team. In his place, the coach called up Lilla defender Tiago Djalo.
The former Real Madrid defender, the backbone of the Lusitanians, is a very heavy absence for Portugal. Grim central defender and very skilled in aerial play, Pepe could be the tip of the balance and a tough opponent for the Azzurri strikers.
