Team News: Liverpool's Tiago Ilori fit to start U21 Euro final for Portugal

Ilori fit to start for Portugal

Liverpool defender Tiago Ilori has overcome a thigh problem to start for Portugal Under-21s in tonight's U21 Euro 2015 final against Sweden Under-21s.

Ilori missed Portugal's 5-0 hammering of Germany in the semi-finals, but returns in place of Tobias Figueiredo in Rui Jorge's only change.

Sweden, meanwhile, go with the same XI that started the 4-1 win over Denmark in the last four, with former Manchester City striker John Guidetti leading the line.

Both sides have reached the final once before but have never lifted the trophy.

Sweden: Carlgren; Lindelof, Milosevic, Helander, Augustinsson; Khalili, Lewicki, Hiljemark, Tibbling; Thelin, Guidetti

Portugal: Sa; Esgaio, P.Oliveira, Ilori, Guerreiro; Mario, William, Sergio, Bernardo; Ricardo, Cavaleiro
