The line-ups for Belgium v Portugal at Euro 2020 are out - and Manchester United's talisman Bruno Fernandes is once again omitted.

Portugal stick with the 4-3-3 that earned them a draw against France, bringing in Diogo Dalet at right-back and Joao Paulinha into the side. 

Belgium, meanwhile, go for the 3-4-3 formation that Roberto Martinez has favoured throughout this tournament. Veteran centre-back Thomas Vermaelen earns a start in the centre of the back three.

Belgium's iconic front three of Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard all start.
