AS Monaco's young defender Nazinho has made his debut appearance in the Portugal national team. The 23-year-old joined the Principality club from Cercle Brugge during the summer transfer window. Nazinho has quickly become the first-choice left-back for AS Monaco, surpassing Christian Mawissa and benefiting from the departure of Caio Henrique earlier in the season.
This Brazilian talent has been a consistent choice over several seasons at Stade Louis II and scored a goal during a 2-1 win against Paris Saint-Germain earlier this season. Despite Monaco's struggles in Ligue 1, where they have lost their last five games, Nazinho's performance has earned him a call-up to the Portuguese national side.
Portugal, without their star player Cristiano Ronaldo, will face Denmark and Wales as part of their UEFA Nations League campaign in the upcoming international window.
