Chelsea midfielder Deco has been included by team coach Carlos Queiroz in the Portugal squad for the World Cup qualifier against Sweden on March 28 and the friendly with South Africa three days later.
Other expected call-ups included Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United and Juventus midfielder Tiago, whilst Deco is joined by Stamford Bridge team-mates Ricardo Carvalho and Jose Bosingwa.
Leixoes goalkeeper Beto receives a first senior international call-up, and Atletico Madrid’s Simao returns, like Carvalho, after injury.
