PORTO: Portugal are ready to unleash precocious teenager Joao Felix at the Nations League this week with coach Fernando Santos saying the 19-year-old has not been brought along just for the ride.

European champions Portugal face Switzerland in their Nations League semi-final on Wednesday and coach Fernando Santos said there was no reason why Joao Felix could not make his international debut.The winners qualify for the final where they will meet either Netherlands or England who meet on Thursday in Guimaraes in the other semi-final.
