      Assistant coach Steven Reid said: “It’s disappointing – Grant has missed a little bit of football and unfortunately is not going to be with us – and Ryan as well.
      “He performed really well in the past camp, so that is a blow but we have got strength in depth. We have bigger numbers than usual in the squad and feel as if we have a squad which is capable of competing well.”
      For the Serbs, they should have a squad firing on all cylinders.
      Star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and captain Aleksandr Kolarov both flew to Serbia as quick as they could following a change in Covid guidelines in Italy.

      Odds
      Serbia – 7/10
      Draw – 12/5

      What the managers are saying
      Spain boss Enrique said: “I decided to summon Alvaro Morata because since he has returned to Juventus you can see a different player with many aspects improved in attack and defence.
      “It is always a pleasure to have Álvaro again.
      “Koke, I have always liked him, he is a player of the highest level.

      “You just have to look at his numbers and his trajectory. Also, as a player he is a No 10.”
      “We are going to ask him for other things, but he will be nothing different from the usual Koke.” More

      Portugal vs Andorra: Live stream, TV channel, team news, kick-off time for TONIGHT’S international friendly game

      by

      PORTUGAL have minnows Andorra to contend with before their UEFA Nations League exploits later this week.
      It’s likely that Andorra stand no chance against Cristiano Ronaldo’s side, who have more important business in France and Croatia to take care of soon after.

      Ronaldo is on the cusp of breaking yet another scoring recordCredit: AFP or licensors

      But competitive balance be damned, Ronaldo will get his chance to close in on the all-time international goal-scoring record of 109.
      The Juventus superstar currently sits on a hefty 101, just eight goals behind his intended target.
      What time is kick-off?
      Portugal vs Andorra kicks off at 7.45pm (BST) on Wednesday, November 11.
      The game will take place at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, where the Champions League final occurred in August.
      When the sides last met in 2017, Portugal ran out 2-0 winners in a World Cup qualifier.

      What channel is it on and can it be live streamed?
      Portugal vs Andorra can be viewed on the Sky Sports Red Button.
      Unfortunately, you can’t select the Red Button option on a NOW TV or Sky Go account.

      But you can stream the game on the Sky Sports pp, so long as you enter your Sky log-in details.

      Team news
      Ronaldo is back in the squad after missing the last one because of a positive coronavirus test.
      Joao Felix could start for the hosts while Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes may line up behind him.
      Wolves forward Daniel Podence is set to miss out, however, and the same can be said for Pepe, who has a foot injury.

      Ruben Seemed and Jose Fonte will probably line up in defence for Portugal.
      And Barcelona youngster Francisco Trincao should get a run out for the Euro 2016 winners.
      Last time out
      Ronaldo loves scoring against Andorra, and smashed four against them in Portugal’s last home game against them.
      The UEFA Nations League winners have notched 26 times in their last 10 games while Andorra have conceded 14 in that time.
      The stage is set for Ronaldo to fill his boots and eat away at Iran legend Ali Daei’s goal-scoring record. More
