Sports Mole looks at how Portugal could line up in Monday's Euro 2024 qualification match with Luxembourg.

Portugal boss Roberto Martinez will be unable to call upon Cristiano Ronaldo for Monday's Euro 2024 qualification match with an improving Luxembourg due to suspension.

Bruno Fernandes's first-half goal saw Portugal beat Slovakia on Friday evening to move onto 15 points in Group J, five points clear of second-placed Slovakia and third-placed Luxembourg.

Martinez will be wary of making changes to his strongest side considering that Luxembourg have recorded three straight wins in the section during an impressive run.

Pedro Neto, Otavio and Nelson Semedo all came off the bench against Slovakia and are in contention for starts, while Goncalo Ramos, Joao Felix and Diogo Jota are notable options in the final third of the field.

Bernardo Silva and Rafael Leao could again feature in the wide positions, with Ramos potentially coming in for Ronaldo, who is out due to the yellow card that he picked up against Slovakia.

There were question marks surrounding Ronaldo's international future earlier this year, but he has scored five times since Martinez's arrival as head coach.

Ronaldo registered a brace against Luxembourg in the reverse match back in March, while he has struck six times in five appearances for Al-Nassr this term, but he will not feature on Monday.

Antonio Silva is set to earn just his sixth cap in the middle of the defence, while Diogo Dalot is expected to again feature as the right-back.

Portugal possible starting lineup: Costa; Dalot, A Silva, Dias, Cancelo; Vitinha, Palhinha, Fernandes; B Silva, Ramos, Leao
