Injured F.Coentrao: My World Cup Is Over

The Portuguese national team suffered a devastating defeat against Germany in the World Cup yesterday, but troubles never come alone. Defender Fabio Coentrao, who suffered an injury during the match, will not be able to help Portugal in the group stage. The incident was captured in the second half, when the 26-year-old Real Madrid player tried to reach the ball and pulled his shoulder muscle. After the game, F. Coentrao admitted that this championship is over for him. "I sincerely believe that the World Cup is already over for me," the defender said. "I think this injury is serious, although I hope I am wrong." "It is a sad day, one of the saddest in my life. But it was only the first match and I know that the team can reach the next stage," F. Coentrao concluded. Portugal still has matches against the USA and Ghana in Group G.
