The absence of Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes from Thursday’s training session is described as nothing more than a precaution by reports.
Fernandes is Ruben Amorim’s most trusted lieutenant. The Portuguese playmaker has featured in 48 of the 50 matches overseen by his compatriot, including all eight this season. Portugal national team manager Roberto Martínez also highly values Fernandes, starting him in both World Cup qualifiers this month.
