Portugal continue preparations for Denmark match, with Nuno Tavares in doubt

Francisco Conceiçao will be present throughout the session, having only participated in the second half of training on Monday due to a delay in his flight from Turin to Lisbon.

Before training, at 17:00 PM, also at Cidade do Futebol, a yet-to-be-named player will speak to journalists in a press conference.
The first match against Denmark will be played on Thursday, in Copenhagen, at Parken Stadium, reports KosovaPress.
The second and decisive duel with the Danes will take place on Sunday, at the Jose Alvalade Stadium, in Lisbon, also at 19:45, and will be valid for qualification to the "final four" of the Nations League.
