Portugal continue their UEFA Nations League campaign this month with matches against Poland and Scotland.
Roberto Martinez's team were eliminated on penalties by France at the quarterfinal stage of Euro 2024 in Germany, with Cristiano Ronaldo unable to inspire his team to win the trophy for the second time in three tournaments.
They began their Nations League campaign in September with two 2-1 victories over Croatia and Scotland in League A Group 1. The Selecao are expected to finish top of a pool that also contains Poland, but they will need strong performances over the coming days to give themselves the best chance of doing so.
The Sporting News has the latest lineup information and whether Ronaldo is involved in their latest game.
