The Portuguese national team held another training session as part of its preparation for the clash with Denmark, a participant in the Nations League. João Cancelo could not participate in this session due to suspension.
Cancelo received a second yellow card during the group stage of the Nations League in the last match against Norway (score 2-1), so he cannot play this Saturday in Braga against Denmark, which is part of the fourth round of Group A4.
The other 26 players called up by coach Jorge Jesus started the press-open training session, performing standard warm-up exercises, while three goalkeepers worked separately.
The training was scheduled to start at 5:00 PM, but it began slightly earlier to take advantage of the moment when the bad weather in the Lisbon area subsided.
After the game against Denmark, Portugal, which has already guaranteed itself a spot in the quarter-finals and needs only one point to secure first place, will travel to Cardiff on November 17th to face Wales in the final match of Group A4.
The match against the Danes at the Municipal Stadium in Braga is sold out.
These games will be the first after Cristiano Ronaldo officially left the national team after 23 years, 234 matches, and 146 goals.
Thanks to victories in the first four rounds, Portugal leads the group with 12 points, followed by Denmark with six points, while Wales and Norway have three points each, keeping the race for second qualification spot open.
