Monza striker Gustavo Varela has received his first call-up to the Portugal national team for November's Nations League matches. The 21-year-old joins Roma teenager Rodrigo Mora, Milan forward Goncalo Ramos and Lazio defender Nuno Tavares in the squad. Portugal faces Denmark on November 14 and travels to Wales on November 17.
Varela leads Serie A with nine goals from nine appearances this season, extending his tally to 11 goals across all competitions. Mora, 19, has contributed three goals in eight league matches since arriving from Porto over the summer. Ramos, Milan's record signing from Paris Saint-Germain, has managed three goals and one assist in 13 appearances for the Rossoneri.
Tavares has started Lazio's last nine consecutive Serie A matches as the club sits atop the table with 28 points from 30 possible after 10 matches. The defender's consistent form earned him selection alongside the three other Serie A-based players in the Portugal squad.
