Renato Sanches has pulled out of the Portugal squad through injury, Bayern Munich have confirmed.
The 19-year-old was named in Fernando Santos' selection for an international friendly against Gibraltar and a World Cup qualifier against Switzerland, despite a muscle injury.
"Renato is still feeling the injury to his muscle and that prevents him taking part in Portugal's two upcoming matches," said Bayern's club doctor Volker Braun.
Sanches, who signed from Benfica in May, will instead continue his individual sports rehab training in Munich.
Euro 2016 champions Portugal are also without star man Cristiano Ronaldo for their upcoming matches as the Real Madrid forward continues to recover from a knee injury sustained in the 1-0 final victory over France.
