- By CLIVE YOULTON Football writer

A squad of 33 players is in the Algarve ahead of matches against Sevilla on Saturday (8pm) in the Estadio Algarve, followed by Sporting Lisbon on Monday (8pm).

Noah Sadiki, Chemsdine Talbi and Simon Adingra are among those players who could make their debuts on Saturday, along with Reinildo Mandava who is linking up with the squad slightly later as he was given extra time off following his involvement in the Club World Cup, representing his former club Atletico Madrid.
