The team of Portugal carried out its first collective training this Monday, November 11 to prepare for its last two Nations League matches, against Poland then Croatia. In addition to the 25 players summoned, Roberto Martinez also called on two reinforcements from the youth teams to participate in this session: Fábio Silva (U21) and Francisco Silva (U20).
The Las Palmas center forward and the Sporting CP goalkeeper participated in the entire training and should also be present this Tuesday according to the media Ball in the net.
As a reminder, despite the injuries to Diogo Jota and Gonçalo Ramos, Roberto Martinez decided to only call up one center forward, in the person of Cristiano Ronaldo. Neither Fábio Silva nor Paulinho, despite being very fit in their respective teams, were considered. The presence of Francisco Silva also seems quite curious since the Spanish technician already has three goalkeepers in his list.
Portugal will face Poland this Friday at the Estadio do Dragão. A draw would be enough for the Seleção to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Ldn. She will then travel to Croatia three days later.
