Portugal midfielder Danilo says he is doing fine after being hit in the face by France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris during a game at the European Championship.
Danilo says on his Instagram account “it was only a scare.” He thanked everyone for their messages and their concern.
Danilo was hit after Lloris came out to punch away a free kick in the 28th minute. Danilo needed treatment on the field before leaving with an ice pack on his face. He was substituted at halftime.
Cristiano Ronaldo converted the penalty for Lloris’ foul. The match ended 2-2.
Portugal will play Belgium in the round of 16 on Sunday.
