Roberto Martinez unveiled this Friday a list of 26 players who will take part in Portugal's last two matches in the group stage of the Nations League, first against Poland (15/11) then Croatia (18/11). As expected, Ruben DiasDiogo Jota and Rúben Neves, who were injured with their respective clubs, are not present. Unlike the usual Cristiano Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes.
A return and something new
This list for the month of November marks the great return of Tiago Djaló, who had not been called up for two years, the fault of a major injury which kept him away from the field for very long months. On the new side, we note the first selection of Nuno Tavares, who joined Lazio on loan this summer and who is currently the best decisive passer in Serie A, with 8 units. In form at Manchester City, Matheus Nunes is there, as are the Parisians Nuno Mendes, Vitinha and João Neves.
