Cristiano Ronaldo, replacement in Portugal-Switzerland!

Cristiano Ronaldo will not be the starter in Portugal-Switzerland tonight! Fernando Santos, the Portuguese team, decided to do without his captain and great figure after he admitted yesterday that “I don’t like” the insult directed at him by the player when he replaced him midway through the second half of the final part. Qatar World Cup group stage game against South Korea, winning 2-1 with a goal on goal.

A decision by Fernando Santos that, without a doubt, will bring a tail and it will be necessary to see how Cristiano Ronaldo will react after being left out of the starting eleven in a game as important as the round of 16 World Cup tie.

Instead of CR7, Fernando Santos chose to line up Gonçalo Ramos in the lead. The complete line-up for Portugal against Switzerland was assembled by Diogo Costa; Dalot, Pepe, Ruben Dias, Guerreiro; William Carvalho, Otávio, Bernardo Silva; Bruno Fernandes, João Félix and Gonçalo Ramos.

Only Diogo Costa, Dalot and Pepe are repeating about the last match of the group stage against South Korea, although it is against Portugal who have already qualified for the round of 16.

For his part, Murat Yakin, the Swiss coach, put Sommer in contention; Edmilson Fernandes, Schär, Akanji, Ricardo Rodriguez; Freuler, Granit Xhaka; Shaqiri, Sow, Ruben Vargas; Plunger.

The big news is the return in goal for Sommer, who missed the final group game against Serbia with a cold, and the change at right-back, with Edmilson Fernandes coming in for Silvan Widmer.
