Nélson Oliveira only new face in Portugal squad

SL Benfica forward Nélson Oliveira is the only new face in Paulo Bento's 23-man Portugal squad for the friendly against Poland on Wednesday.

Oliveira, 20, was one of the key players when Portugal reached the FIFA U-20 World Cup final against Brazil last summer and Bento said: "Nélson Oliveira is a young player with great potential and enormous talent. He has different qualities, ones we don't have in our squad. As this will be the last selection before the tournament, it's a great opportunity."

Bento has also recalled Real Betis Balompié right-back Nélson, Valencia CF centre-back Ricardo Costa, Beşiktaş JK midfielder Manuel Fernandes and FC Porto winger Silvestre Varela for the match against the UEFA EURO 2012 co-hosts, the first game to be played at Warsaw's new National Stadium.
