Diogo Dalot

The right-back was forced to withdraw from international duty for Portugal’s World Cup qualifiers against Armenia and Hungary after feeling “muscle discomfort”.

It was subsequently confirmed that Dalot would be unavailable for the derby, but the extent of his injury has not been revealed.


We will probably get a better idea of the defender’s fitness in Amorim’s pre-match press conference later this week.

Expected Return Date – Unknown

Lisandro Martinez


The Argentinian international has been pictured training alone out on the grass with a fitness coach this week.


That suggests Martinez is still some way off from taking part in first-team games.

The defender suffered his ACL injury in early February against Crystal Palace, so his comeback was pencilled in for the Autumn.

Expected Return Date – October/November
