Bruno Fernandes will miss Portugal's crunch clash against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin next month.

The attacking midfielder (25 goals in 84 senior caps) has incurred a one-match suspension after being booked for the second time in Group F during Portugal's 2-2 draw with Hungary in Lisbon on Tuesday night.
