André Silva in Jorge Jesus's preliminary squad | OneFootball

André Silva has been one of the standout figures at the start of the season upon his return to FC Porto and is part of Jorge Jesus’s preliminary squad for the national team’s upcoming fixtures. Focused on his club, and aware that his performances for the Dragons could earn him a place among the final picks, the 30-year-old striker is eagerly awaiting a new call-up to represent Portugal.

With three goals in the league from just five shots on target, André Silva has also shown outstanding physical condition. Francesco Farioli even revealed that the striker covered 11 kilometers in one match, the same as Froholdt. A quality that Jorge Jesus will certainly take into account when finalizing the squad.

As the squad list will be announced tomorrow, André Silva’s performance in the clásico will no longer influence that decision. Even so, the striker remains motivated to score against Benfica for the first time, an opponent he has already faced twice, always for FC Porto, recording two draws.
