Unfortunately for Portugal, but perhaps to the benefit of the United States, Fabio Coentrao has been ruled out of playing for the remainder of the tournament.
He pulled up after stretching to reach a pass during Monday’s match against Germany. He was stretchered off the pitch in the 65th minute. After tests today, the Portuguese team confirmed that my favorite Brendan Fehr look-a-like (did no one watch Roswell?) has a grade two tear of the adductor muscle.
Hugo Almeida and Rui Patricio are also being treated for thigh injuries but they’re hoping they can recover in time to take on the United States on Sunday.
The madridista in me is hoping to see Fabio recover quickly!

Oohhh, it looked bad as he was covering his face as they took him away. Get well soon
oh man, sad to hear this.
I always thought he looked like a blonde David Duchovny aka Fox Mulder from the X-Files.
