ToggleManager Roberto Martinez called up the full-back for his team's forthcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Poland and Liechtenstein. However, Dalot will not participate in either match after leaving his nation's training camp as announced by the Portuguese Football Federation. The 24-year-old's absence has not been formally explained, although he is expecting his first child with his fiancee Claudia Lopes, and that is believed to be the reason behind the right-back pulling out of the squad.

In July, the couple revealed their pregnancy with a post on social media. Dalot and Lopes started dating in 2020, and when the football player went on a year-long loan to AC Milan for the 2020–21 season, his fiancée travelled with him to Italy.
Dalot has 16 caps for Portugal, 12 of which he has earned in the last 24 months. He has started each of his nation's last five games, all of which they have won.
Dalot will now likely only be back in action when Manchester United take on Everton at Goodison Park on November 26.
