Why is Nani not in Portugal’s World Cup 2018 squad and who does the former Manchester United star play for?
Fernando Santos' side have been performing well in Russia but why is the 31-year-old not part of the 23-man squad for the tournament?
PORTUGAL have started strongly at the 2018 World Cup with a late draw against rivals Spain in their opening game.
The 2016 European Championship winners are looking for more success in Russia but one name missing from the squad is Nani.
Why is Nani not in the squad?
PORTUGAL manager Fernando Santos announced his final 23-man squad shortly before the start of the tournament.
There were a few shocks with Nani and Renato Sanches missing out in the final squad.
It appears that the manager decided to chose youth over experience with Andre Silva and Goncalo Guedes chosen to play alongside captain Cristiano Ronaldo.
