Among the new additions to the team is Francisco Conceicao, a winger for Porto who has scored eight goals and provided six assists this season. At the age of 21, he debuted for the national team on March 26 and was among those called up by Roberto Martinez, which included young players such as Antonio Silva, Goncalo Inacio and Joao Neves.
