PORTO (Reuters) - Portugal are ready to unleash precocious teenager Joao Felix at the Nations League this week with coach Fernando Santos saying the 19-year-old has not been brought along just for the ride.

The Benfica forward has still to make his international debut but has had a remarkable first season in professional football with 20 goals and 11 assists for his club in 43 games in all competitions.
