Veteran defender Pepe and in-form Eintracht frankfurt striker Andre silva earned recalls yesterday for Portugal ahead of the start of 2022 world cup qualifying later this month.
the 38-year-old defender missed the end of the nations league campaign due to injury but is back in the 25-man squad after helping Porto knock Juventus out of the champions league last week.
silva has scored 19 times in 23 games in the Bundesliga this season, level with Erling Braut Haaland and trailing only Robert Lewandowski (32).
the former AC Milan forward has made just four appearances for Portugal over the past two years and bolsters a strong attack that includes Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix, and Diogo Jota.
Ronaldo is on 102 international goals, second on the all-time list behind Iran's Ali daei (109).
