Overview
- The FPF confirmed Rafael Leão has been dismissed from the national team and has returned to Italy, ruling him out of Tuesday's game against Hungary in Alvalade.
- Leão and center back Gonçalo Inácio both missed the first training session after the Ireland match, with the federation initially not specifying reasons for their absences.
- The federation stated the release was a coach-led decision based on Leão’s physical condition rather than a disclosed medical diagnosis.
- Gonçalo Inácio was substituted at halftime against Ireland due to left-calf complaints and his fitness for the next match remains in question.
- João Félix, who sat out the Ireland fixture with a myalgia, resumed individual work as heavy-minute players did gym recovery and the rest trained on the field.
