As usual, UEFA released the list of the 23 players registered on the match sheet for Portugal's clash with Denmark, in the third-round Group A4 fixture of the Nations League.
The two absentees were already known. Francisco Conceicao is recovering from injury, while Cristiano Ronaldo left the national team camp.
That allowed Fabio Silva to be included for the first time, while Bruno Fernandes returns after missing the game against Norway through injury.
However, the main talking point from the list is the shirt numbering. Usually wearing No. 17, Rafael Leao has inherited Cristiano Ronaldo's No. 7 shirt, with Fabio Silva taking his old number.
The Galatasaray forward, it should be remembered, was not used by Jorge Jesus against Wales and came on in the second half against Norway.
