The next Portugal game is on August 20th, then in September, the 2010 World Cup qualifyers start. I wanted to see in what shape the 4 international players from Benfica will arrive to those 2 games. They are forward, Nuno Gomes, Petit, goalkeeper Quim, and defender Jorge Ribeiro. Here are photos from the training on July 22, 2008:

Nuno Gomes didn't have a great season at Benfica before the Euro 2008-yet Scolari still put him in the starting lineup. I don't think Queiroz will keep Nuno Gomes in the starting lineup.
So this week- Benfica pre-season training.
Nuno Gomes, Petit, Quim and Jorge Ribeiro are in the official 28 man list for the Torneio do Guadiana. Match against a Premiership team, Blackburn Rovers and then, Sporting on Sunday.
Goalkeepers: Moreira, Quim e Bruno Costa
Defenders: Luís Filipe, Edcarlos, Luisão, Léo, Zoro, Miguel Vítor, Sepsi, Sidnei e Jorge Ribeiro
Midfielders: Petit, Katsouranis, Aimar, Balboa, Fellipe Bastos, Maxi Pereira, Rúben Amorim, Binya, Carlos Martins, Nuno Assis e Yebda
Forwards: Cardozo, Urreta, Makukula, Nuno Gomes e Nélson Oliveira
