Portugal head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has announced his 23-man squad for the EURO 2008 Finals in Austria/Switzerland, kicking-off on June 7, 2008.

There are three players from the English Premier League to feature in Scolari’s final 23-man Portugal squad. Manchester United star winger Cristiano Ronaldo and Chelsea’s Ricardo Carvalho and Paulo Ferreira.

One big name missing from the Portugal squad is Maniche, who seems to have missed the call-up from Scolari after failing to secure a regular first-team place at Inter Milan.

His younger brother Jorge Ribeiro, who plays in Portugal for Boavista FC, has been called-up for the final 23-man squad by ‘Big Phil’ Scolari.
