| MATCH PREVIEW | |
|
Portugal will have to make do without record-breaking talisman Cristiano Ronaldo for their final game of the September international break against Azerbaijan in Tuesday's World Cup 2022 qualifier. The Manchester United returnee left the camp early in order to link up with his Old Trafford teammates and also missed the recent 3-1 friendly victory over next year's hosts Qatar on Saturday. However, Ronaldo's shirt-stripping celebration against the Republic of Ireland - during which he became the greatest international goalscorer in the history of the men's game - means that he is suspended anyway, so Andre Silva could keep his place up top after netting against Qatar. |
