Portugal's final Euro 2016 qualifier against Serbia at
the weekend.
Portugal will rest Cristiano Ronaldo, Tiago and Ricardo Carvalho
for their last qualifier in Serbia on Sunday after Fernando
Santos' men sealed their place at Euro 2016.
The trio all featured as Portugal qualified with a 1-0 victory over
Denmark in Braga on Thursday - Joao Moutinho's second-half
winner proving the difference.
Santos then confirmed in his post-match news conference that
the three would be released for the final Group I clash
against Serbia, who cannot qualify.
"I had been thinking before that if we won, we would make
changes for the next game, because we recognise that, at this
point in time, it would be a little tiring for some of the players,"
he explained.
"I want to see and work with other players, so Cristiano
Ronaldo, Tiago and Ricardo Carvalho have been released from
the squad."
Full-back Ricardo Pereira of Nice and Braga's on-loan
forward Rui Fonte have been called up as replacements.
