Raphaël Guerreiro Shows Off War Wounds After Tussle With Nordin Amrabat

Portugal left-back Raphaël Guerreiro was in the wars in the first half of the Group B clash with Morocco, though you might not have noticed it straight away.

On one occasion, he brought down the former Galatasaray man just outside the box as the two tussled for the ball - with the referee waving away the protests.

Amrabat may have suffered a concussion in Morocco's opening game against Iran but he had Guerreiro on toast in that first half, leading to the former Sporting man getting a fair bit of criticism on Twitter:
