Nations League. Francisco Conceição punished with three-match suspension

Francisco Conceição received a three-match suspension from UEFA for insulting the referee during the Portugal-Norway Nations League match. The sanction, issued on October 9, follows his expulsion in the 86th minute for verbal abuse. Consequently, he will miss upcoming matches against Denmark and Wales, as well as the first leg of the quarter-finals in March. João Cancelo is also suspended due to yellow card accumulation, while Nuno Mendes faces injury concerns. Attention will be on Cristiano Ronaldo's potential return after his recent suspension ends before the next matches. Portugal currently leads Group A4 with 12 points.
