U-21 Portuguese Defender Is A Nigerian by adebisiema(m): 4:32pm On Jun 30, 2015
The defender, who is still eligible to play for
Nigeria at senior level, is looking to be fit enough
for tonight’s European final against Sweden.

Liverpool’s Tiago Ilori will hope to win the
European U21 Championship on Tuesday night
with Portugal when they take on Sweden in the
final in the Czech Republic.

Still eligible to play for Nigeria via his father,
Tiago Abiola Ilori, 22, has been a part of the
Portuguese youth set up from the U18s and looks
set to crown it all with a win tonight.

Even though he sat out Saturday’s semi final 5-0
whitewash of Germany through a thigh injury, Ilori
could return to the starting line up against the
Swedes.

Portugal are searching for their first victory at the
U21s after failing to win it in 1994 when Luis
Figo and co reached the final but lost 1-0 to
Italy.

William Carvalho and Bernardo Silva have been in
inspired form going into the final making Portugal
favourites to lift their first title.

Reaching the final means Portugal have qualified
for the 2016 Olympic football event in Rio.
