RIO DE JANEIRO: Portugal full-back Fabio Coentrao is out of the World Cup after suffering a thigh injury dealing another blow to the already fragile morale of the team, the Portuguese Federation (FPF) said Tuesday.

Coentrao was forced off after 65 minutes of his country´s disastrous opening Group G 4-0 thrashing by Germany on Monday.

Coentrao suffered a "second grade tear of the adductor longus muscle in the right thigh," said the FPF statement on their website.

It was a bruising match for Portugal, who had Pepe sent-off for a petulant head-butt on hat-trick hero Thomas Mueller.

The 26-year-old Real Madrid left-back Coentrao was amongst three players to undergo MRI scans on Tuesday.

Forward Hugo Almeida, who lasted only 28 minutes in Salvador, suffered a first grade tear in his left hamstring while goalkeeper Rui Patricio also suffered a grade one tear in his thigh. Both are expected to return to full fitness before the end of the tournament. (AFP)
