Bruno Fernandes absent from last training and must fail Norway

Ddue to physical problems, the average of 32 years was the only of the 25 players summoned by the selection Jorge Jesus who did not climb the lawn of the Ullevaal Stadium, having been in the enclosure to perform only recovery work and gym.

This means that Bruno Fernandes will hardly be present in the match against the Norwegians, in order to recover in time to be available to face Denmark on 1 October in Copenhagen, also counting on the League of Nations.

In the first 15 minutes of training, which were open to the media, the players of the national team performed the usual warm-up exercises, always with Jesus nearby and with the president of the Portuguese Football Federation, Pedro Proença, attending the session.

Before the start of the training, the Portuguese selector spent a few minutes talking with João Palhinha, with the Benfica average being a serious candidate for title in the Sunday game.

João Neves already knows that he will integrate the ‘eleven’, while Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to start the match in the bank, according to Jorge Jesus' words at the press conference forecasting the game.

In the first round of the League of Nations, in the match that marked the debut of Jorge Jesus, Portugal won at the José Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon, Wales, by 1-0, with a goal by João Félix.

Norway, on the other hand, received and beat Denmark, for 3-2, with a Haaland bis and with the Aursnes Benfiquists and Schjelderup on the lawn.

This means that the two nations will fight for the first place in the Ullevaal Stadium, an enclosure that celebrates 100 years, with a capacity for 28,000 spectators and Norway carries a record of three years without defeats in the last eight official matches played.

Norway-Portugal is scheduled for 20:45 (19:45 from Lisbon) and will have arbitration by Frenchman François Letexier.

According to the Norwegian press, tickets to the game ran out in just two hours.
