The Mambas of Mozambique will miss the services of three of their key stars in the international friendly against Nigeria.
The game is slated for the Estรกdio Municipal de Portimรฃo.
The trio of David Malembana, Mexer Sitoe and Clesio Bauque will not feature in the game for different reasons, according to local publication Folha de Maputo.
Malembana, a defender, is ruled out on account of injury while Mexer Sitou could not make the trip for administrative reasons.
Baรบque is excused due to the death of his brother.
There is also concern over the availability of some of the invited players.
Shaquille, Edmilson Dove, Ernani, Dominguez, Dรกrio, Dayo and Ivan were left in Maputo when the contingent departed.
They could not obtain a visa to Portugal as they were away in Angola when others had their visas to Portugal.
