Without the ill Cristiano Ronaldo, but with the rest of the stars in the squad, the Portugal team hosts Nigeria in a final warm-up game before the opening match at the World Cup next week.
While the cloud of the Portuguese star and his provocative interview hangs over the Euro 2016 champions, Fernando Santos opted to go with Andre Silva in his place in the lineup. Roy Patricio between the posts, with Antonio Silva teaming up alongside Ruben Dias in defence. Bruno Fernandez, Bernardo Silva and Joao Felix also in the 11 of the Portuguese. On the other hand, Wilfried Ndidi of Leicester is in the middle of Nigeria, with Ademola Lookman in the attack of the green-whites.
The composition of the Portugal national team: Roy Patricio, Diego Dalot, Ruben Dias, Antonio Silva, Nuno Mendes, Bruno Fernandes, William Carvalho, Ottavio, Joao Felix, Bernardo Silva, Andre Silva.
