Paolo Ferreira was not in the call-up list for Chelsea's last 2 games, Hull 0-3 Chelsea (Oct. 29, 2008), Chelsea 5-0 Sunderland (Nov. 1, 2008).
Will Ferreira be in the starting lineup in Brazil - Portugal on Nov. 19, 2008?
If Bosingwa stays injury-free then he'll be the right-back.
Does left-back Antunes deserve more playing time?
Ferreira lost his right-back position with the Portugal national team to Jose Bosingwa.
According to the last 3 games, Queiroz's options for right back are Bosingwa, then Miguel. Ferreira played as a left-back. If Ferreira does not play regularly with Chelsea then he might lose his left-back place to Antunes, (Lecce, Serie A).
