He says “nobody here has any doubts about how important he continues to be for the national team.” João Félix, Diogo Jota, Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes also were included in the 26-player list. Out because of injuries were Otávio and Renato Sanches. Santos also left out André Silva, Gonçalo Guedes and João Moutinho.
