Portuguese midfielder João Palhinha has withdrawn from international duty with Portugal and returned to Munich following an adductor injury. The 28-year-old Bayern Munich player experienced discomfort during preparations with the national team and has now been released to undergo further evaluation by Bayern’s medical team.
The injury’s specifics remain undisclosed, but Bayern Munich’s medical staff will conduct thorough assessments to determine the extent of the issue and outline an appropriate recovery plan. Palhinha’s early departure is a setback for Portugal as they approach their upcoming fixtures, where his defensive capabilities would have been instrumental.
Bayern Munich will monitor Palhinha’s condition closely, hoping for a swift recovery as they aim to reintegrate him into the squad as soon as he is fully fit.
