Portugal have announced their provisional World Cup squad as Cristiano Ronaldo again leads the way.

But there is no place for Renato Sanches after a disastrous loan spell at Swansea.

Fernando Santos has named a 35-man preliminary squad for this summer's tournament, which will then be trimmed next month.

Ronaldo is joined by former Manchester United teammate Nani while there are a number of Premier League-based players, including Man City title-winner Bernardo Silva.

Just two years ago, Sanches was crowned Young Player of the Tournament at Euro 2016 but he has had a loan to forget at the Liberty Stadium.

The midfielder hasn't featured since January and failed to register a goal or assist during his time with the club.

Santos will hope to see his side repeat their Euro 2016 victory but must see off Spain in Group B.
