Manchester United legend Roy Keane was not surprised Bruno Fernandes was not selected for Portugal's loss to Belgium on Sunday.

Fernandes came off the bench in the second-half but could not turn around the 1-0 result.

"No, [I'm] not really [surprised] because of the other options. He's not really been in top form in the tournament. His body language is not great and he's not performed," Keane told ITV Sport ahead of the game.

The beauty of it for the manager is you like at the Portuguese players and the options he's got. The plus for Portugal so far is they've scored seven goals but they've conceded six.

"The worry for Portugal with the way they play, and particularly for the attacking players, if this turns into a shoot out I think they'll suffer today. But no surprise with the changes he's made."
