Bernardo Silva left the Portuguese national team’s training camp after being declared unfit by the health and performance department of the Portuguese Football Federation on Sunday morning. The Real Madrid midfielder, who came on in the 80th minute during the heavy defeat to Denmark (1-4) on Saturday evening, will not participate in the Nations League match against Wales scheduled for Tuesday.

Despite his ten minutes on the pitch — enough to score Portugal’s only goal of the evening — Silva was spotted performing exercises on the pitch after the final whistle, raising concerns among observers. The Portuguese Federation confirmed the following day that a medical examination had led to his early release.

Back in Madrid, the player must now undergo further tests to determine the exact nature of his injury and the likely duration of his unavailability. Real Madrid has so far released no additional details about his condition.

The former AS Monaco and Manchester City player arrives during a busy period for his club: after the international window closes, Real Madrid travels to Celta Vigo in La Liga on November 21, then hosts PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League on November 24.
