And Man Utd fans were devastated at the news that their right-back could face some time on the sidelines.
Taking to Twitter, one fan said: “Dalot injured…our season is done.”
A second fan said: “Dalot injured? Thanks Portugal.”
A third reacted by saying: “Dalot injured. I hate it here.”
A fourth said: “NOOOOOOO Dalot injured.”
Another said: “Diogo Dalot injured .
“Fantastic tournament if we don’t see him again. Entered as a backup, came into this match as Portugal’s most important fullback.”
Dalot is set to be offered a new contract by Man Utd after his strong start to the season.
HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP
However, while the club had planned to sell Aaron Wan-Bissaka to accommodate a new signing to challenge Dalot in the summer, the club’s transfer plans may now be accelerated.
Regardless of his injury and the second half introduction of Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal crashed out of the World Cup to Morocco after Diogo Costa failed to claim a cross which allowed Youssef En-Nesyri to head home the winner.
