Portugal were back in training on Friday morning at Estadio do Bessa in Porto as the European champions prepare for the UEFA Nations League final on Sunday.

Fernando Santos’ first XI in the semi-final against Switzerland, including hat-trick hero Cristiano Ronaldo, went onto the pitch for the first time since Wednesday’s 3-1 victory at Estadio do Dragao.

Potugal are the only side unbeaten in the competition, after finishing on top of group A3, with two wins and two draws against Italy and Poland, and beating Switzerland to reach the final.

Ronaldo’s side will face in the Netherlands on Sunday in Porto and they will come up against one of the best defenders in world football.

Virgil van Dijk will be leading his nation on Sunday and Portugal defender Ruben Dias said: “No doubt about it, the facts tell you the story. He’s definitely one of the best defenders in the world.”
