Portugal v Ireland: ex-Benfica star a worry for Roberto Martínez | OneFootball

Yesterday afternoon, October 10, Roberto Martínez led the final training session of the national team before hosting the Republic of Ireland. During the 15 minutes open to the media, it was noted that João Félix was absent, making the former Benfica player a doubt for tonight's game.

According to the newspaper Record, the Portuguese international did not take to the pitch at the City of Football, causing some concern for Roberto Martínez, who might be without one of his players. It has been determined that the forward is dealing with a myalgia and only did gym exercises.

On the other hand, João Félix was the only player absent from yesterday's training, with the Spanish coach having the rest of the squad at full strength for the match against the Irish. It should also be noted that, before the start of the session, Martínez had already released João Neves and called up Nuno Tavares in his place.

João Félix - currently valued at 20 million euros - has been making headlines while playing for Al Nassr. In the current sports season, the number 79 has participated in nine matches for the Saudis. In the 719 minutes he was on the field, he recorded eight goals and two assists.
