Soccer-World-Portugal's Miguel ruled out of third place match

MADRID, July 7 - Portugal defender Miguel will
miss the World Cup third place match against Germany on Saturday
through injury.

Miguel's club side Valencia said on Friday the player would
be sidelined for a month. The 26-year-old right back sustained a
partial tear of the medial ligament in his right knee during
Portugal's 1-0 defeat by France in Wednesday's semi-final.
