Nuno Tavares & Sutalo Ruled Out With Injury
Nuno Tavares was supposed to join the Portuguese camp, but he’s been struggling with a muscle problem since last week, and his condition was aggravated by his participation in Sunday’s draw against Napoli. Likewise, Josip Sutalo won’t be able to join the Croatian national team after pulling his hamstring in the first half of the Stadio Maradona game.
Adam Marusic Back in Action
Tavares and Sutalo will join their captain Mattia Zaccagni on the treatment table, while Albert Gudmundsson has yet to fully recover from the injury he sustained during the previous international break. On the contrary, Adam Marusic will join Montenegro, even though he hasn’t played since August, when he picked up an injury in Bologna.

Gustav Isaksen and Oliver Provstgaard will be hoping to carry their top form to the international, as they’ll be involved in Denmark’s last two group-stage fixtures against Portugal and Norway.
