Reuters - Portugal's third choice goalkeeper Bruno Vale has pulled out of the World Cup squad because of injury, his football federation said on Saturday.

Bruno Vale fractured his right foot on Thursday in an under-21 match against Serbia and Montenegro at the European championship in Portugal.

Portugal host Cape Verde on Saturday and meet Luxembourg in Metz on June 3 in their final pre-tournament warm-ups. They face Angola, Mexico and Iran in Group D at the finals starting on June 9.
