Alert, Sporting! Gonçalo Inácio left Portugal camp without playing | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio has already left the National Team camp, after Portugal’s elimination from the World Cup. The Sporting centre-back left the Seleção camp together with José Sá, João Félix and Gonçalo Ramos, beginning the return to Portugal.

According to Record newspaper, the four internationals left the camp after the 1-0 defeat to Spain in the round of 16 of the competition. The Portuguese delegation will still leave the United States this Monday, with arrival in Lisbon scheduled for Tuesday morning.

The elimination of Roberto Martínez’s side was confirmed in Dallas last Monday, where Mikel Merino scored in the 90+1st minute, the only goal of the match and secured the Spanish national team’s place in the quarter-finals.

With the World Cup over and without playing a single minute for Portugal, Gonçalo Inácio will now be entitled to a holiday period before returning to Sporting to join Rui Borges’ work, who continues to prepare the new season in Lagos.

In the 2025/26 season, Gonçalo Inácio - valued at 40 million euros - was once again one of Sporting’s key players. The green-and-white centre-back totalled 4,006 minutes in 46 matches, in which he managed three goals and three assists.
