Bruno Fernandes omitted from Portugal squad for Norway Nations League trip
September 27, 2026 20:50
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has been left out of Portugal’s squad for tonight’s Nations League match in Norway. Portugal manager Jorge Jesus confirmed Fernandes is currently playing through pain, which led to his omission from the travelling group.
KEY CONTEXT
Fernandes, 32, was a central figure for United last season, finishing with 30 goal contributions as the club secured third place in the league. He has also registered five goal involvements so far this campaign.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
It remains unclear whether Fernandes will return for Portugal’s upcoming Nations League fixtures — a home game against Norway and a match against Denmark. He has been touted to be available for those games, but that has not been confirmed. Manchester United will monitor his condition closely and may seek his early return to Old Trafford if he is deemed unfit for the forthcoming fixtures.
