Roberto Martinez has named the Portugal squad that will be heading to the World Cup this summer.
Rumours of a shock inclusion for Bournemouth striker failed to materialise but Cristiano Ronaldo, the highest goalscorer in football history, is part of the squad and looks set to appear at his sixth and final World Cup.
Ronaldo played at his first World Cup all the way back in 2006, reaching the semi-finals and being named Young Player of the Tournament.
The 41-year-old led his nation to victory in the European Championships in 2016 but a victory on the biggest international stage of all is a notable omission from his CV.
As has been the case for a number of years now, Lusos have an embarrassment of riches at their disposal, especially in the midfield.
There is an argument to suggest that no side will have a midfield trio that gets close to Vitinhna, Joao Neves and Bruno Fernandes and when you throw Bernardo Silva and Ruben Neves into the mix, Martinez is blessed with quality options from the bench.
Full-back is another area where Portugal excel, boasting Nuno Mendes, Joao Cancelo and Matheus Nunes to name a few.
Drawn in Group K alongside DR Congo, Uzbekistan and Colombia, the number five ranked nation in the world are extremely fancied to reach the knockout stages and are 11/1 to lift their maiden World Cup title.
