Bryan Cristante is edging closer to a return to group training following wrist surgery which the Italian midfielder underwent in November.
Three weeks after surgery, Corriere dello Sport reports that Cristante has almost made full recovery and will travel with the rest of the team to Portugal.
The newspaper informs, however, that Cristante is not expected to take part in any group activities that may put him at risk of contact with others.
Mourinho should be able to rely on his vice-captain after the international break.
