Nelson Oliveira is back in the Portugal squad after his goal scoring efforts at the start of this season.

Nelson has scored three goals this season and already has 16 caps for his country but this is his first call up since joining Norwich.

Oliveira will join the Portuguese squad for the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers hosting the Faroe Islands on Thursday, August 31 (7.45pm) in Group B qualifying, before travelling to Hungary on Sunday, September 3 (7.45pm).

Currently suffering from a groin strain, it seems unlikely that he will be risked against Millwall on Saturday and it remains to be seen whether or not he will be fit enough to actually join up with Christiano Ronaldo et al.
