Portugal squad for friendly against Luxembourg

Paulo Bento has announced his squad for the upcoming friendly against Luxembourg in Faro on August 10/11 as the squad gets set to resume Euro Qualifying action in September. Nuno Gomes has been called up by Portugal for the first time in two years as the 35 year old striker winds down his career. This should be Gomes' swan song for the National side.

Goalies: Eduardo (Benfica), Quim (Braga), Rui Patricio (Sporting)

Defense: Fabio Coentrao (Real Madrid), Bruno Alves (Zenit), Pepe (Real Madrid), Ricardo Carvalho (Real Madrid), Joao Pereira (Sporting), Silvio (Atletico Madrid)
