Pumps: Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo tested positive for covid-19 and misses the match. He is the third player from the Portuguese team to test positive during this meeting of national teams. José Fonte and Anthony Lopes have previously had to leave the squad.
– No team that loses the best players in the world can improve. It would be strange if I said otherwise, but I have faith in my team to handle the task. Of course I would have liked to have Ronaldo on the pitch, Portugal captain Fernando Santos said before the game.
Question mark: Emil Forsberg did not train yesterday and at the press conference Janne Andersson said that Forsberg has a feeling of injury and is a big question mark for the Portugal game.
“We’ll see if it’s available, probably not, it feels like,” Andersson said.
Missing from the Swedish squad: Sebastian Andersson, knee problem, resigned from the collection of the national team. Filip Helander, injured, went home to Glasgow to continue his rehabilitation training. Ludwig Augustinsson has been detained by his club’s Werder Bremen, as he is forced to quarantine him if he travels to Portugal. The hill, therefore, has abandoned the squad.
