The international break has left Real Madrid with a major concern. Bernardo Silva will return to Valdebebas after being left out of Portugal's squad for the match against Wales, having finished the game against Denmark with discomfort.

The Portuguese Football Federation said the midfielder was examined by its medical staff and was released because he was not in a condition to compete. For now, the exact extent of the physical problem has not been specified, so it will be Real Madrid who determine through tests whether this is an injury or a less serious issue.

Bernardo did not start against Denmark, in a match marked by the tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo, but he did play the final minutes. In that spell he scored Portugal's only goal in the defeat to the Danish side. Afterwards, alarm bells rang when it emerged that the player would not remain with his national team.

The player now returns to Spain to come under the care of the club's medical staff. Jose Mourinho is waiting on his progress, especially with the next league fixture against Celta at the Santiago Bernabeu in mind.
