Fernandes doubtful for Norway match

Portugal coach Jorge Jesus expressed concern about Bruno Fernandes' availability for the match against Norway, as the midfielder played against Wales with an injury. "There is concern around Bruno. He played against Wales with an injury he got in action for Manchester United. We'll see if he becomes fit," Jesus stated at the press conference.

Jesus also revealed that Veiga and Ruben Dias will form the central defensive pairing, with Nuno Mendes expected to be fit after some recent trouble. Portugal, the reigning Nations League champions, faces a strong Norway team featuring Erling Braut Haaland, who Jesus described as "the strongest striker in the penalty area, both physically and technically." game-sweetbonanza.com
