Portugal has announced a revamped national team roster for the upcoming Nations League matches, featuring new call-ups and a strategic shift in player selection. Sporting’s Geovany Quenda, Lille’s Tiago Santos, and Chelsea’s Renato Veiga earn their first international call-ups under manager Roberto Martínez. The squad also sees the return of familiar faces like Pedro Gonçalves, Francisco Trincão, and goalkeeper Rui Silva. Notably, several players from the Euro 2024 squad are absent, including Rui Patrício, João Cancelo, Danilo Pereira, Matheus Nunes, and Francisco Conceição. Notably absent due to injury are Gonçalo Ramos, Otávio, and Raphael Guerreiro. Portugal will face Croatia and Scotland in their opening two Nations League group stage matches, both to be played at the Estádio da Luz on September 5th and 8th.
