Fabio Vieira has withdrawn from Portugal’s under-21 squad for the upcoming U21 European Championships due to a medical issue.
Our midfielder had travelled with the squad to Georgia and was expected to skipper his country at the finals which kicks off later this week, however he has now returned home to rest and recover, ahead of next season.
“I tried everything to be ready to play for my country,” Fabio said. “I love to play for Portugal, but unfortunately it was not possible. I didn’t feel on top to play and help the team and the medical staff agreed.
