But he may be included in the national team in midweek when they face his former club, Porto.

Arsenal take on Burnley at Turf Moor this afternoon as they look to continue their title chasing.
Take a look at our preview of the setting here. . .
Arsenal have dealt a serious blow to their hopes of signing Ajax Jorrel Hato.
The 17-year-old Dutchman has signed a new four-year contract with the Amsterdam club.
Mikel Arteta and his team are a move for the flexible defender, but they would possibly struggle to cross the line with the announcement of a new contract.
Mikel Arteta made it clear in his press conference that Arsenal deserve to be taken seriously as potential suitors for Kylian Mbappe.
The French superstar will leave PSG at the end of the season and Real Madrid appears to be his most likely destination, the Gunners are also linked with a transfer.
If we’re going to be the most productive team, we’re going to want the most productive skill and the most productive players, that’s for sure.
I’m not [part of those conversations]. Maybe Edu and the owners are, but I only participate in those conversations in the last step.
When there’s a player of that caliber [Kylian Mbappé], we have to be in the conversation.
Let’s all play for Arsenal.
At least the players we’ve spoken to have that smile on their faces as soon as you open the door and start chatting.
This is because of us and everything we have done in the past.
Arsenal Women have SOLD out the Emirates Stadium for their WSL clash against Manchester United tomorrow.
There were more than 60,000 seats for the league match, a figure that would break the WSL attendance record if the stadium was full.
The existing record was set by the Gunners in December last year, when 59,042 fans watched Arsenal beat Chelsea in the Women’s Super League.
Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall congratulated those who made the sale possible.
He said: “The whole club takes credit.
“This wouldn’t have been imaginable without all the hard painting that a lot of other people are doing around the club.
“It’s the duty of those on the pitch to prepare them and make sure they enjoy such a fun experience for everyone who comes and of course our fans. A great credit to them. “
Gabriel Martinelli is reportedly “closely watched” in Barcelona.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Brazilian is the target of the Catalan side.
Barca have reportedly drawn up a shortlist of 3 men to sign a new left-footer for next season, with Arsenal’s number being one of the names on the list.
Martinelli, 22, has more than 3 years left on his contract with the Gunners after signing new season terms.
Arsenal have booked Kylian Mbappé.
The Gunners may just be starting to look like real superstar contenders, and Mikel Arteta admits his side need to “be in the conversation” for players of that calibre.
But former professional Stan Collymore has warned Arsenal that signing Mbappe could destroy what they have built under Arteta.
Speaking to CaughtOffside, he said: “I see Liverpool or Arsenal worrying in the race, but my recommendation would be to stay away from Mbappe.
“The French star is a wonderful player, but he’s going to bring down his salary structure and not only that, the temptation to push the ship for him will be there, which can have a ripple effect throughout the dressing room.
“Arsenal have a fragile ecosystem built around young players who are all committed to this adventure to get the Gunners back to being more sensible together.
“There are no superstar names in this locker room, but there may be some in the future. “
