Portugal is set to face France tonight in a crucial Euro Cup quarter-final clash. However, six of their players are currently on a yellow card, and should they receive another booking tonight, they would be suspended from the semi-finals, even if Portugal advances.
The players in question are Cristiano Ronaldo, Francisco Conceição, João Cancelo, João Palhinha, Pedro Neto, and Ruben Neves, all key figures in the team. Given the strength and star power of the French squad, it’s unlikely that manager Martinez will risk rotating these players.
Naturally, if they manage to avoid another caution, they will be safe for the semi-finals, as yellow cards are reset after this stage, eliminating the risk of missing the final.
