Possible lineups in Portugal vs Germany
Fernando Santos will probably line up a similar starting eleven from the previous round, withNuno Mendes being the only concern so far as he trained separately on Thursday. However, there wouldnāt be further changes in Portugalās starting eleven, with Cristiano Ronaldo leading the pack.
Meanwhile, Joachim Low wouldnāt make many changes either, despite the loss against France. Leroy SanĆ© could see first-team action, though, replacing Kai Havertz, while it remains uncertain if Low will giveTimo Werneran opportunity.
Portugal: Rui Patricio; Nelson Semedo, Pepe, Ruben Dias, Raphael Guerreiro; Danilo, William Carvalho; Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Jota; Cristiano Ronaldo.
