Ricardo Horta called-up to Portugal’s under-21s

The 20 year-old Portuguese player has been chosen by under-21s coach, Rui Jorge for a European qualifier between Portugal and Albania on 8th September at the Qemal Stafa stadium in Tirana.

Málaga CF’s Portuguese-born player will join the under-21s side on 31st August in Lisbon, and from there the team will head to Tirana on 5th September for the match on the 8th in the Albanian capital.

Horta therefore joins the list of ‘Malaguista’ internationals who are also taking part in the FIFA calendar: Amrabat with Morocco; Rosales with Venezuela; and Filipenko with Belarus.  For his part, Guillermo Ochoa is now not joining Mexico, and will stay in training with the ‘Malaguistas’ during the League break.
