Rafael Leão has played down fears of a serious injury, but the Portugal forward will still miss the upcoming international fixtures. The winger left a recent match with a problem, and his own words suggest he will be out of the squad for the break.
Speaking after Galatasaray’s victory, the 26-year-old said he would undergo treatment during the international break. His comments make clear that he will not be available for the national team, even though the knock is not considered grave.
For Portugal, the absence is a blow to their attacking options as the national side prepares for its next games. Leão has been one of the most dangerous wingers in the squad, so his recovery will be closely watched by the coaching staff in the coming weeks.
