Temporary Holder of Portugal's No. 7 Shirt Revealed
The No. 7 shirt left vacant by Ronaldo's retirement from the Portugal national team will be worn by Club Brugge winger Carlos Forbs in the Portugal vs Denmark match. According to the Portuguese press, the shirt's permanent owner will be Rafael Leao.
The Portugal national team squad has been finalized ahead of tonight's UEFA Nations League match against Denmark in Braga.
The legendary No. 7 shirt, vacated by Ronaldo's retirement, has been temporarily given to Club Brugge winger Carlos Forbs. According to reports in the Portuguese press, the shirt needs to be temporarily filled because national teams must select numbers between 1 and 23.
The Portuguese press expects the permanent owner of the shirt to be Galatasaray's Rafael Leao. Leao, who will not be able to wear the shirt in these two matches due to an injury, is expected to take the number permanently.
The Portuguese Football Federation has retired the No. 7 shirt to honor Ronaldo. The number 7 on the back of the player who wears the new shirt will not be the same as Ronaldo's.
