Nations League: Horta inherits Ronaldo’s number 7 for game in Switzerland

Cristiano Ronaldo did not travel with the Portuguese delegation to Switzerland, but sweater 7 was still in the suitcase. According to information on the match sheet provided by UEFA, Ricardo Horta will use the traditional number of the captain of the Quinas team in tonight’s match in Geneva, instead of number 21.

In the last meeting, against the Czech Republic, the Sp. Braga and Benfica’s target in this market, was even left out of Fernando Santos’ options.

Raphael Guerreiro and João Moutinho, like Ronaldo, were also dismissed in a logic of physical effort management, explained the national coach. With the Borussia Dortmund side out, David Carmo takes the number 5 jersey. Bruno Fernandes, on the other hand, takes Moutinho’s number 8.

Portugal leads group A2, with seven points, while Switzerland added three defeats in as many matches. The clash between the two teams is scheduled for 19:45 this Sunday and you can follow everything per minute in Maisfutebol.
