John Victor will hope to earn a recall between the sticks at the expense of Matz Sels, while Morato could replace either Nikola Milenkovic or Murillo - who scored against Liverpool - at centre-back....

A footballing genius, he was one of the first superstars in football but his life away from the game ensured he was on the front pages of the newspapers, as well as the back. In fact, such was his fame off the pitch he was dubbed the "fifth Beatle" by Portuguese press, and by his mid-20s his celebrity lifestyle had started to overtake his football in a slope that would never reverse. But that does not detract from…...
