India captain Bhaichung Bhutia will leave for Portugal on Wednesday where his team-mates are preparing for next year's Asian Cup.
Bhutia, who has recovered from a thyroid-related illness said, "I am absolutely fine now and have recovered fully. I am looking forward to the camp in Portugal."
Striker Sunil Chhetri, who has returned from the US after he was released for national duty by his Major League club Kansas City Wizards, would also leave on the same day, giving a boost to coach Bob Houghton.
Bhutia and Chhetri would be available for India's international friendlies scheduled in September.
India has so far two wins under their belt -- against Desportivo das Caldas and Desportivo Monsanto -- in their preparatory practice matches.
