March 2026
Portugal have named a 27-man squad for March friendlies against Mexico and the United States without Cristiano Ronaldo or Bernardo Silva. Roberto Martinez instead selected a group built around other senior regulars and younger attacking options. Portugal’s official squad list includes players such as Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha, Joao Neves, Rafael Leao and Goncalo Ramos, but neither Ronaldo nor Bernardo Silva appears among the selections. The camp forms part of Portugal’s final preparation phase before the 2026 World Cup.
