Roberto Martínez dismissed Gonçalo Inácio from the National Team. The Sporting center-back suffered a calf bruise in the match against Ireland and, after being evaluated, learned that he will be out for the next two games - one of them already with the lions.

"Gonçalo Inácio was dismissed from the National Team training camp this morning. The player was deemed unfit for the match against Hungary by the FPF Health and Performance Directorate", reads a statement available on the official Federation website.

Besides Gonçalo Inácio, who had already missed Portugal's last training session, Rafael Leão also ended up leaving the Portuguese squad. The forward, trained at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, returned to Milan due to physical issues.

In this start of the 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at 45 million euros - is the only ever-present player in the Sporting team. The green and white center-back has accumulated 990 minutes in 11 games, in which he has already made two assists for goals.

Portugal will return to the field on Tuesday, October 14, against Hungary. The match is part of the qualification phase for the 2026 World Cup and is scheduled to kick off at 19:45, at the José Alvalade Stadium, home of Sporting.
