The triumvirate of the National Team

Bernardo Silva has been appointed as the new captain of the Portuguese national football team, sharing the role with Bruno Fernandes and Ruben Dias. Following Cristiano Ronaldo's departure, Silva, with 115 caps, is now the most capped player. However, his recent lack of playtime raises questions about his starting position. Portugal leads their Nations League group and will face Denmark in Braga. Six players, including Rodrigo Mora and Gustavo Varela, are potential debutants under coach Jorge Jesus, who has yet to introduce new faces since taking over. Mora has been performing well in Italy, while Quenda, also a promising talent, has yet to make his debut despite previous call-ups.
