Anchors clean sheet

Dias generated seven clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Colombia.

Analysis: Dias registered one block, two interceptions and seven clearances across his 90 minutes in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Colombia, winning three aerial duels and organizing Portugal's backline with authority against a Colombian attack that generated 24 total attempts and seven on target. The Manchester City captain was Portugal's most important individual defensive performer, dealing with Jhon Cordoba's aerial threat and leading the defensive line with the composure and leadership that has made him one of the best center backs in the world. His partnership with Renato Veiga gives Portugal a defensive foundation capable of handling Croatia's attacking quality in the round of 32.

Earns start versus Uzbekistan

Dias (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's clash against Uzbekistan.

Analysis: Dias made his return to the starting lineup after coach Roberto Martinez confirmed he was back and fit enough to play ahead of the group stage fixture, with the Manchester City center-back slotting straight back into the heart of Portugal's defensive unit for what is a crucial fixture. His return is a timely boost for a side that had been dealt a blow by Tomas Araujo's injury, and his presence gives the coaching staff the experienced defensive leader they had been missing as Portugal look to bounce back after conceding against Congo. Reliable in ball recovery and capable of contributing to clean sheets as part of a strong defensive unit, his reintegration into the starting lineup gives Martinez's side a significantly more formidable look at the back heading into the remainder of the tournament.
