Almeida and Coentrao return to Portugal squad

Fernando Santos has welcomed Hugo Almeida and Fabio Coentrao back to Portugal's squad as part of five changes for their matches with Serbia and Cape Verde.

Portugal host Serbia in Lisbon in Euro 2016 qualifying on March 29 before a friendly against Cape Verde two days later, and Santos has used the opportunity to bring players back in.

The pair are joined in the squad by Hugo Ventura, Antunes and Eliseu, none of whom featured in the last round of fixtures in November.
