Borussia Dortmund full-back Raphael Guerreiro has pulled out of the Portugal squad to face Italy in the Nations League.
The left-back picked up an injury and was deemed unfit to take part in Monday evening’s match in Lisbon.
He has therefore been sent home early and there is no replacement drafted in at such short notice.
Italy began their Nations League campaign by drawing 1-1 with Poland at the Stadio Dall’Ara in Bologna.
