In their final Nations League group match against Wales, Portugal will have to do without Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias and Joao Palhinha.

Dias and Palhinha will miss the match due to suspensions they picked up in Saturday’s game against Denmark (1–4).

Meanwhile, Silva has left the national team due to health problems.

Although the midfielder scored Portugal’s only goal late in the match, a medical examination showed that he must rest for at least some time.

Portugal have 12 points in Group A4, three more than Denmark. To secure first place in the group and a place among the seeded teams in the Nations League quarter-finals, a draw against Wales will be enough for Portugal.
