    And Football Italia reports the infection in his right foot was caused by a bee sting and is keeping him out of action.
    The unusual injury is thought to have prevented the Juventus star from taking part in training over the last few days.
    Portugal boss Fernando Santos confirmed the 35-year-old was struggling with his fitness in his press conference.

    Santos said: “I am very doubtful that he will be 100 per cent OK.

    “He had been training well, then suddenly on Wednesday one of his toes was red, as if he’d been stung by a bee.
    “Now we have to wait.
    “With an infection, you don’t know how long the recovery is going to take.”
    Portugal host Croatia tonight before travelling to play Sweden on Tuesday.

    What happens if Nations League games are called off because of coronavirus?

    INTERNATIONAL football is back – and with it, a brand new iteration of the Uefa Nations League.
    After a successful first campaign in 2019, the competition gets underway again on September 3 – but the spectre of Covid 19 is always looming large.

    International football returns with a bang as Germany take on Spain
    With international travel and quarantine rules seemingly changing by the day, Uefa have had to make a contingency plan for if the pandemic affects the schedule.
    What happens if Nations League games are called off because of Covid?
    There’s plenty of international football on the menu between now and November, with five Matchday’s planned in a packed Uefa schedule.
    England begin their challenge against Iceland on September 5, before clashing with Denmark and Belgium in the coming months.
    Uefa have put a number of protocols in force as international football restarts, including rules on how games will be decided if a team suffers a coronavirus outbreak.

    Firstly, a match is expected to be fulfilled if a team has at least 13 squad members fit and ready to play – including at least one goalkeeper.

    2

    Drawing lots would only only happen as a last resort
    If this can’t happen, Uefa will try everything within its power to reschedule the tie for a later date.
    But with fixture congestion already a huge problem at both domestic and international level, this might not be possible in some cases.
    And as a last resort option, lots could be drawn to decide the winner of a given tie.

    That will only happen if the game is cancelled due to circumstances outside of both teams control – i.e Covid-19 – and a rescheduled date is not possible.

    The last time lots were drawn in an international tournament was way back at Italia 90.
    Holland and the Republic of Ireland finished level on points in their World Cup groups, with an identical record including goals scored and conceded.
    As such, lots were drawn to determine who would finish second and third, changing their path into the knockout stages. More

    Jack Grealish stopped by England security at St George’s Park as they didn’t recognise Aston Villa star

    JACK GREALISH’S first day with the England squad got off to an awkward start after he was briefly denied entry by security.
    The Aston Villa midfielder, 24, joked he had trouble getting in after not being recognised at the gates of St George’s Park.

    Grealish – who was called up to the Three Lions senior side for the first time on Monday – admitted his entrance wasn’t what he was expecting.
    The England media team shared a clip of the midfielder, who was wearing full Aston Villa training gear, getting out of his cab outside the England training ground.
    Speaking as he got out, he said: “Hello, yeah, I’m finally here.
    “At the front then they were like, ‘Who? Who?’ for about like five minutes.

    “They went are you with the under-21s? I said, ‘Nah, I don’t think so!?'”
    HIT THE ROAD JACK
    Despite the security blunder, Grealish will be hoping he can do enough to make Gareth Southgate notice him and make his debut in either of the Nations League clashes against Iceland or Denmark.
    In an exclusive interview with SunSport, Grealish said he will ensure he remains part of the England squad after five years of being overlooked.
    He said: “I don’t want to be on the outside looking in again. But I know for that to be the case I’ve got to make a good impression.

    “It’s been a long time coming but this is something I’ve always wanted to do.
    “I thought it was going to happen five years ago when I took the decision to play for England. I’m so pleased it’s finally happened.

    “My plan has always been to just get in that England squad for the first time, then make sure I do enough to stay in there.
    “The hardest thing is getting your first call-up.
    “Once you are in the squad, it’s up to you to make sure you either do enough in the training sessions or games.”
