Bernardo Silva has been ruled out of Portugal's Nations League match away to Wales on Tuesday. The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) said the Real Madrid midfielder was assessed by its health and performance department and declared unfit.
The federation gave no details of his problem. Silva had played and scored in Saturday's 4-1 defeat to Denmark, the first match since Cristiano Ronaldo left the national team.
Mundo Deportivo reports that Rúben Dias and João Palhinha have also left the squad, but because of a suspension after yellow cards against Denmark.
Golviva's valuation of Silva is €16m, against his market value of €22m on Transfermarkt. The 32-year-old is under contract at Real Madrid until June 2028 and has made 10 appearances this season, with one assist and no goals.
