Player to watch…
Gianluigi Donnarumma: The AC Milan goalkeeper is likely to start on Saturday night, at his home stadium. The 19-year-old has 10 national team appearances to his name, but only three clean sheets in those games and is the long-term replacement after Gianluigi Buffon retired from international football last year. He’ll be looking to keep out a ‘Silva’ Portuguese attacking trio likely to be made up of Bernardo Silva, Andre Silva and Rafa Silva.
