Samuel Portugal and Veron report back to Porto

Samuel Portugal and Veron are due back at FC Porto. The goalkeeper and the Brazilian winger report to Olival on Tuesday, with medical exams scheduled to clear their return after loan spells elsewhere (1). Neither features in Portugal's World Cup plans, but the timing lands on a quiet Monday between the group stage and a round-of-16 collision with Spain later this week. Portugal's last-16 match against Spain kicks off at 20:00 UK time, with Rúben Dias and Matheus Nunes both expected to feature.
