The English club’s statement continued, “Following another evaluation and a specialist visit this week, he is set to have surgery, which means he won’t be ready for the upcoming World Cup.
Portugal, Uruguay, South Korea, and Ghana are all in Group H for the World Cup.
The World Cup finals will begin on November 20 in Qatar, and Portugal’s tournament debut will be on November 24 in Group H versus Ghana.
