“In the event that it was another player, we wouldn’t address it, yet indeed, he truly has gastritis and is in no condition to play,” he added.

“He didn’t need to illuminate us about the meeting. Is it true that he is allowed to go with his choice? What I’m keen on is the thing that is being spoken in our camp and not what is being said outside. We need to regard his choice. We need to regard the meeting he gave. It doesn’t have anything to do with the public group. It was the player, the man, who chose to give a meeting. He doesn’t discuss the public group; it’s an extremely private meeting, and we need to regard that. I didn’t see anybody in the public group remarking regarding this situation. In the meeting, he discusses his club and the relationship he has with the club. We need to regard it, as we regard the choices that different players make. It no affects the public group”, he proceeded to say.

Portugal takes on Uruguay on November 29 and South Korea on December 2.
