Portugal's PSG Stars Join Squad for Nigeria Friendly

The Portugal national football team is preparing for a friendly match against Nigeria as part of their World Cup warm-up. The team received a significant boost with the inclusion of Paris Saint-Germain players Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, João Neves, and Gonçalo Ramos, who joined the squad on Saturday after missing a previous friendly against Chile.

Portugal's head coach, Roberto Martínez, anticipates having a full complement of players available for the clash. The last encounter between Portugal and Nigeria at the senior level was on November 17, 2022, which ended in a 4-0 victory for Portugal.

Key players for Nigeria, including captain Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, have withdrawn from the squad due to the demands of the club season, while Ola Aina is absent due to injury. Terem Moffi expressed confidence in the team's performance but acknowledged the challenge posed by Portugal.
