Team News: Two changes for Portugal ahead of Austria clash

Two changes for Portugal ahead of Austria clash

Portugal manager Fernando Santos has made two changes to his starting XI ahead of their Euro 2016 Group F meeting against Austria on Saturday night.

William Carvalho and Ricardo Quaresma replace Danilo Pereira, who misses out due to a back problem, and Joao Mario, who has been dropped to the bench.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who leads the line for the Selecao, will hit a historic landmark by becoming his country's most capped player, with 128 appearances to Luis Figo's 127.

Austria, meanwhile, have been forced into a change at centre-back as the suspended Aleksandar Dragovic, who was sent off against Hungary, is replaced by Watford's Sebastian Prodl.

There is also a change at centre-forward as Marcel Sabitzer replaces Marc Janko, while Stefan Ilsanker takes the place of Zlatko Junuzovic, who has been ruled out through injury.

Portugal: Patricio; Vieirinha, Pepe, Carvalho, Guerreiro; Moutinho, Gomes, Carvalho; Nani, Ronaldo, Quaresma

Austria: Almer; Klein, Hinteregger, Prodl, Fuchs; Harnik, Baumgartlinger, Ilsanker, Alaba, Arnautovic; Sabitzer
