Benfica say winger Simao Sabrosa is injured and will miss Portugal 's World Cup squad.
The former FC Barcelona player was hurt in the 4-1 caning by Finland after sustaining ligament damage when he landed badly trying to avoid a first half tackle.
The 22 year old will have knee surgery next week and is unlikely to be fit for the start of next season.
