Confident Faces at Portugal Training, Still Without Tomás Araújo

PALM BEACH — A buoyant mood permeated the penultimate training session for the National Team ahead of their clash with Uzbekistan, a matchday 2 fixture in Group K of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Tomás Araújo remained sidelined from the collective workout.

As was the case the previous day, the Benfica defender, nursing an injury, did not join the main group, instead undertaking individual training.

Otherwise, all members of the 'Seleção das Quinas' were at Roberto Martínez's disposal, with smiles and confidence clearly visible on their faces during the initial 15 minutes open to the media.
