Ahead of USA-Portugal, Roberto Martínez gets duo back... not ex-Benfica | OneFootball

After the goalless draw with Mexico, at the monumental Azteca, Portugal packed their bags for the United States and, in the early hours of Wednesday (00:07 mainland Portugal time), will face that very same team in the second and final friendly of the March training camp, aimed at preparing for the 2026 World Cup.

Speaking to journalists, Roberto Martínez had mentioned minor physical issues for Gonçalo Guedes and Pedro Gonçalves, but both the Real Sociedad forward and the Sporting attacking midfielder took part in the final training session without limitations before the match against the team coached by Mauricio Pochettino.

Absent from the session at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta was João Neves. The PSG midfielder was limited to specific workload management and is therefore a doubt for the clash with the Americans.

It should also be noted that the Portugal national team underwent anti-doping tests carried out by FIFA, still at the hotel where they are staying in Atlanta. According to the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), 10 of the 26 players in the Portugal camp underwent clinical testing.

". The process was monitored by the FPF Health and Performance Department."
