Portugal suffered a great loss before the play-off match for tickets to the World Cup
Pepe will not be able to attend the match against Turkey on March 25 because he has tested positive for COVID-19. The Portuguese Football Federation has informed about Pepe’s situation, and said coach Fernando Santos has called Lille midfielder Tiago Djalo to replace the 39-year-old centre-back.
Before, Portugal national team was also unable to get the services of Ruben Dias due to injury while playing for Man City. It is known that Ruben Dias has problems in his calves, hamstrings and needs 4 to 6 weeks to recover.
Pepe and Dias are both absent from the match against Turkey
Currently, the Portuguese team has gathered in Lisbon and has the first training session. The absence of pillars will certainly affect Ronaldo and his teammates’ chances of winning tickets to the World Cup 2022.
