What happened. Jordan James said Wales will not be overawed when they face Portugal in their Nations League A opener in Lisbon on Thursday. Wales are without several players, including Harry Wilson, Karl Darlow and Nathan Broadhead.

• Wales were already missing Joe Rodon and Dylan Lawlor before further withdrawals.
• Portugal's squad includes Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Ruben Dias.
• Wales are chasing a first win since beating North Macedonia last November.

“Obviously they're the best players in the world at the end of the day, you can't really sugarcoat it”

— Jordan James
