Bruno Fernandes remains with Portugal amid injury concerns

Bruno Fernandes will stay with the Portugal squad during the international break despite ongoing fitness concerns. Manchester United has been informed about his condition, as Fernandes has been affected by injury in recent weeks, missing Portugal's match against Norway. Sources indicate that he took heavy blows during a Champions League match against Sabah FK and has struggled with form since. Michael Carrick's decision to keep Fernandes in the lineup is being scrutinized, especially as United faces an injury crisis. Reports suggest that Fernandes might still be available for the matchday squad against Tottenham Hotspur if managed properly.
