Team news & squads
Portugal U21 team news
Tomas Araujo's second half sending off in the Georgia loss forced Jorge to go on the defensive despite trailing by two goals by then, and may throw in a start to Vitoria defender Andre Amaro against Netherlands.
Ze Carlos' injury in the same game would see Leonardo Lelo handed a start at right-back if need be.
The Portugal boss is also likely to change a few things up front, pushing Pedro Neto towards the left and bringing in Henrique Araujo to lead the line of attack alongside Francisco Conceicao.
