Few expected Portugal to make the 2017 Confederations Cup and now the Selecao will travel to Russia without the man who put them there as Eder drops out, although Cristiano Ronaldo makes the cut.
Also called upon are Blancos defender Pepe, Bayern Munich's Renato Sanches and Monaco starlet Bernardo Silva.
Reserve goalkeeper Anthony Lopes, of Lyon, has nonetheless been left out due to personal reasons.
First on the list for Portugal are Mexico in Kazan on June 18, before clashes with hosts Russia and OFC champions New Zealand.
