PORTO, Portugal (Reuters) - Portugal brought in Danilo in midfield and Goncalo Guedes in attack as they made three changes to their side for the Nations League final against Netherlands on Sunday.

Danilo replaced Ruben Neves in midfield, where he was picked alongside William Carvalho and Bruno Fernandes, as coach Fernando Santos tried to give some extra protection to his defence. Guedes was picked ahead of teenager Joao Felix alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in attack.
