Captain Vandinho and defender Paulão are the latest players to be ruled out of SC Braga's UEFA Europa League fixture away to KKS Lech Poznań on Thursday.
Vandinho and fellow Brazilian Paulão were taken off with respective thigh and groin injuries during Sunday's 2-0 home defeat by Liga leaders FC Porto and will not travel to Poland for Thursday's first leg of the round of 32 tie.
Coach Domingos Paciência is also without left-back Elderson and forward Paulo César, both of whom are struggling with thigh problems.
