Portugal announce squad for October International break

Cristiano Ronaldo and his men play two Euro 2024 qualifiers

Portugal is getting ready for the upcoming UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers against Slovakia and Bosnia in the October international break. Roberto Martinez has called all the big names to ensure his side's 100% record in the qualification round.

The Portugal football team is currently leading Group J in the qualification with six wins in six games. Portugal have scored 24 goals and average four goals per game. Their defence has been tight and is yet to concede a goal.

During the September international break, Portugal won their first match 1-0 away at Slovakia. The next match showed pure dominance by Martinez's men. Portugal scored nine goals against Luxembourg in a dominating win.

The coach has called a full-strength squad for the upcoming matches. In-form Barcelona duo Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix will be looking to start in both matches. Pedro Neto of Wolves is also in a great knick and is likely to play cameo roles.

Cristiano Ronaldo will look to extend his record of international goals. The national team captain only played one game in the last break and will be hungry to score his 124th goal in a Portuguese shirt.
