Ireland team news

Evan Ferguson, being ruled out with an ankle injury, is a big blow for the hosts. Sammie Szmodics, Mark Sykes and Callum O'Dowda are out on account of injuries.

Moreover, Ryan Manning and Jayson Molumby are suspended.

In-form Celtic striker Johnny Kenny has been called up to the squad and may earn his international debut. Troy Parrott and Adam Idah are the main contenders to slot in for Ferguson up front.

Portugal team news

Pedro Neto and Pedro Goncalves have withdrawn from the squad due to groin and muscle injuries, respectively.

Given the absences, the doors could open for Carlos Forbs' debut. However, he will have to battle for a spot against the likes of Rafael Leao, Francisco Conceicao and Francisco Trincao.

Bernardo Silva is likely to play on the right flank, with Cristiano Ronaldo raring to lead the line.
