Portugal defender Miguel will miss his side's third-place clash with Germany.

Miguel is struggling with a knee injury he sustained in Wednesday's defeat to France.

The Valencia full back was forced to limp off with the problem and he is now sidelined for Saturday's clash with the hosts.

Miguel is likely to be out of action for a month and he looks set to miss the start of pre-season with Valencia.

Chelsea defender Paulo Ferreira is likely to replace Miguel in the starting line-up against Germany.
