Portugal have been handed a boost ahead of Euro 2024 with UEFA set to approve a change to the rules for this summer's tournament. According to Sky Sports, nations will be permitted to name squads of 26 players ahead of this summer's competition, an increase on the usual limit of 23.

At previous tournaments, such as the World Cup in Qatar and the last Euros in 2021, squads were increased from 23 to 26, but only due to special circumstances.

The World Cup was expanded because it was being played in the middle of the season, meaning players were already being asked to play more games, while Euro 2020 was pushed back a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic and UEFA allowed for bigger squads due to the potential for infections.

However, the change could be made permanent for international competition amid concerns over the number of injuries being suffered by players around the world due to fixture congestion.
