Fernandes, Gakpo & Dorgu join injury list
Bruno Fernandes, Cody Gakpo and Patrick Dorgu all join the international break's high-profile injury list after suffering issues that have curtailed their involvement in Nations League matches.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, Liverpool striker Cody Gakpo, and Denmark player Patrick Dorgu have all joined the injury list ahead of the international break for the 2026-27 men's football season. Fernandes, who played through an injury for Portugal's win over Wales, wasn't fit enough for Sunday's match against Norway.
Dorgu and Gakpo both picked up injuries during their countries' matches on Sunday. Gakpo had to leave the Netherlands' 2-1 win against Serbia just 16 minutes in, while Dorgu lasted only 30 minutes before limping off in Denmark's 2-0 victory over Wales. The international break this season is longer than usual, lasting a week more due to the absence of the traditional October break.
The longer gap provides more international fixtures for countries, with four matches instead of the usual two.
