Portugal Star Nani Ruled Out Of The World Cup

Portugal have confirmed winger Nani is out of the World Cup after he suffered a collarbone injury.

It is said that a replacement player will be called up but it is yet to be confirmed.

The winger had missed the squad’s final home training session in Portugal on Saturday after falling while attempting an acrobatic shot and causing a traumatism in his shoulder.

During the flight to Johannesburg, he had been confident he would recover in time.

Nani’s loss will be sorely felt by the 2006 semi-finalists who lost to runners-up France in Germany.
