The Portuguese national football team is preparing in Malmö, Sweden, where it is training ahead of the upcoming Nations League match against Denmark. The group, led by coach Jorge Jesus, received good news with the return of Bruno Fernandes to training, after he missed the previous match against Norway due to physical issues.

Bruno Fernandes participated in training without any limitations, fully rejoining the squad. The 32-year-old player expressed his availability for the match against Denmark, which will take place next Thursday.

On the other hand, Francisco Conceição is a concern for the team, as he did not participate in training. The player was substituted with a knock in the match against Norway, and his clinical situation will be assessed in the coming days.

After a victory over Norway by 1-2 in Oslo, the team traveled to Denmark and subsequently to Sweden. This training camp in Sweden aims to ensure proper preparation for the national team's future commitments, including the match against Denmark.

Conceição's condition is being monitored by the technical staff, who are awaiting his progress. The team's medical report indicated that the player is doubtful for the upcoming clash, which could influence the coach's selections.

The Portuguese national team seeks to maintain its good momentum, and with Fernandes' return, the squad increases its options for the crucial match. However, Conceição's absence may be a factor to consider in Jorge Jesus's strategy.
