Just like in previous breaks for national team commitments, FC Porto once again experiences a significant wave of absences: several players will be away from Olival for the next week and a half.
In addition to the Portuguese internationals, distributed between the Senior National Team (Diogo Costa) and the Under-21s (Martim Fernandes and Rodrigo Mora), seven more call-ups were announced this Friday. The highlight goes to the call-up of winger Borja Sainz, who will represent the Basque Country against Palestine in Bilbao on the 15th of this month.
List of players called up for foreign national teams, announced this Friday:
Bednarek and Kiwior (Poland) – Matches against the Netherlands and Malta (14 and 17/11)
Deniz Gül (Turkey) – Bulgaria and Spain (15 and 18/11)
Samu (Spain) – Georgia and Turkey (15 and 18/11)
