Portugal is set to face France tonight for a spot in the European Championship semi-finals. Notably, six players on the team already have yellow cards, and if they receive another yellow card tonight, they will miss the semi-finals even if Portugal advances.
These six players are Cristiano Ronaldo, Francisco Conceição, João Cancelo, João Palhinha, Pedro Neto, and Rúben Neves, all key members. Considering the upcoming match against the star-studded and strong French team, Martínez is unlikely to rotate them.
Of course, if they can avoid a yellow card in this match, they are completely safe – the yellow card count will be reset after the semi-finals, eliminating the risk of missing the final.
