Bruno Fernandes to Miss Norway Match Due to Injury
Bruno Fernandes will sit out Portugal’s game against Norway after revealing he has been carrying an injury for several matches. Portugal's head coach, Jorge Jesus, stated that Fernandes arrived for international duty with a problem and had been managing it over the last three games.
Fernandes played out of position on the left wing during Portugal’s recent victory over Wales, where he was substituted in the 90th minute. To avoid further risk, Jesus has decided to give Fernandes the weekend off to ensure he is in perfect condition for the upcoming match against Denmark on October 1.
This decision is also significant for Manchester United, as they face a busy schedule after the international break, including matches against Tottenham Hotspur, Leeds United, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and three Champions League games. Fernandes has been a consistent presence for Manchester United since joining from Sporting Lisbon in 2020.
