Following their goalless draw with Colombia, which secured second place in World Cup Group K, Portugal's squad will undergo their customary recovery session this Sunday. Players who started against the Cafeteros will focus on recuperation, while those who were unused substitutes or came off the bench will train on the pitch.

With an eye on their upcoming Round of 16 clash against Croatia at BMO Field in Toronto, Portugal will continue their preparations in Palm Beach, Florida. The team has been based there since arriving in the United States and will only travel to Canada on Wednesday morning, departing at 3:30 PM Continental Portugal time. Upon arrival in Canada, a training session is scheduled, and Toronto will also host the customary pre-match press conference featuring manager Roberto Martínez and a player.

Should Portugal successfully navigate the challenge posed by Croatia, they will return to the United States for the Round of 16. There, they could potentially face either Spain or Austria in Dallas on Monday, July 6th, with kick-off scheduled for 8:00 PM (Portugal time).
