In Portugal, which will host Turkey on March 24, 2022, in the first match of the World Cup European Qualification Playoffs semi-finals, there is a corona shock.
Portugal’s veteran defender Pepe has contracted COVID-19.
While the 39-year-old defender, who also played for Beşiktaş for a while in his career, was removed from the squad, Tiago Djalo, who played in Lille in the French Ligue 1, where Burak Yılmaz and Zeki Çelik also played, was added to replace Pepe.
Pepe scored 7 goals in 123 matches with the Portugal National Team.
