Man City left sweating as injured Bernardo Silva withdraws from Portugal squad

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has withdrawn from the latest Portugal squad due to injury, the Portuguese Football Federation has confirmed.

The 24-year-old travelled with the national side but will not feature against Poland in Portugal’s UEFA Nations League tie in Guimaraes on Tuesday night.

In a statement, the Portuguese Football Federation said: “Following medical and diagnostic tests performed by the FPF Health and Performance Unit, player Bernardo Silva was considered unavailable for the meeting against Poland.”

Silva scored what proved to be a vital third goal in a 3-2 victory for Portugal the last time the two sides met in October.
