Gonçalo Ramos or Cristiano Ronaldo: who will get the starting nod against Denmark? Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Jorge Jesus was candid about his plans, revealing that "if everything goes as normal," Gonçalo Ramos will be in the starting lineup.
"If everything goes normally, Gonçalo will play," he confirmed during the press conference, before discussing the squad's injury updates: "João Félix hasn't trained yet. I'll see how he is. Both of his soleus muscles are heavily overloaded, and that's a deceptive muscle. I'm waiting for today's training session and will assess him afterwards. If he's fit, he'll play. But we always have to calculate the risks: he might be fit now, but then will he miss out at the Dragão? In this context, decisions have to be made, and that falls on the manager. The lad, Francisco Conceição, is definitely out. He really wanted to be fit for the Antas... we'll see. The Dragão, I mean!" he quipped.
