Man Utd fullback Dalot answers Portugal SOS - from Dubai

Manchester United fullback Diogo Dalot has been called up into Portugal's Euros squad.

Dalot has been called away from his summer break in Dubai and joins the Portugal squad this morning after Joao Cancelo reportedly 'failed' a coronavirus test.

The United defender spent last season on-loan with AC Milan and was an ever present in Portugal's team for last month's U21 Euros.

This call is Dalot's first to the senior Portugal squad.

The defending title holders open their campaign against Hungary on Tuesday. Wolves defender Nelson Semedo is expected to step in for Cancelo on the evening.
