Regarding the victories over Armenia (5-0) and Hungary (3-2), the Portuguese coach brought back these three players, with João Cancelo, who suffered a muscle injury, being the only player absent from Roberto Martínez’s squad.

In the last squad, Diogo Dalot was called up but was dropped, with Nuno Tavares being called up, while Francisco Conceição was withdrawn from the squad before the match against Hungary.

Portugal hosts Ireland on October 11 and Hungary three days later, on the 14th, in two matches scheduled for the José Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon.

The national team leads the group with six points, three more than Armenia, while Hungary and Ireland have only one, the result of a draw between them.

Portugal can already secure qualification and secure its ninth World Cup appearance, and seventh in a row, if it wins both matches and benefits from the combined results of Group F.

The group winner automatically secures a spot in the tournament to be held next year in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, which will feature 48 teams for the first time. The runner-up will have to compete in the knockout rounds.

– Goalkeepers: Diogo Costa (FC Porto), Rui Silva (Sporting), and José Sá (Wolverhampton, England).
