Portugal vs Chile, Team News and Confirmed Lineups<\/h2>\n

Portugal Team News<\/h3>\n

In the build-up to Portugal vs Chile, Roberto Martinez discussed the availability of certain players: “Unfortunately, Matheus Nunes is not yet fit to train. It’s not the time to take risks. Let’s hope he’s available for the game against Nigeria. As for Jo\u00e3o F\u00e9lix, it’s a different case; I think he’ll be available for the Chile game.”<\/p>\n

The Paris Saint-Germain contingent<\/span><\/a> of Nuno Mendes, Joao Neves, Vitinha and Gon\u00e7alo Ramos will not be available, with their season only finishing last weekend. Martinez also discussed the importance of the PSG players ahead of the 2026 World Cup:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The two-time European champions will be a great help because they believe anything is possible. It was the same a year ago. Nuno Mendes was the best player in the Nations League final against Spain, Vitinha had a very good final four, Gon\u00e7alo Ramos is an example because of his attitude, and Jo\u00e3o Neves is at the top of the world.”<\/p>\n

Chile are in a complete rebuild, and the glory years of 2015 and 2016 seem a lifetime ago, with Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez no longer involved. Nicolas Cordova\u2019s team did win three friendlies at the end of last year, but were recently beaten 4-1 by New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Swansea\u2019s goalkeeper, Lawrence Vigouroux<\/span><\/a>, will be familiar to some and will start in goal, while it\u2019s expected that Sao Paulo\u2019s Gonzalo Tapia will start in attack, supported by Dario Osorio.<\/p>\n
