Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix, Bernardo Silva and Diogo Jota will all not be unleashed from the start for Portugal's UEFA Nations League clash against France, says manager Fernando Santos.
The fab four were rested from the outset in Portugal's 7-0 friendly win over Andorra on Wednesday but all got some minutes under their belts after coming off the bench.
Santos has the luxury to call on Juventus star Ronaldo, Atletico Madrid's Felix, Manchester City star Silva and Liverpool's in-form man Jota but he revealed after the game that only three will start at the weekend.
