Cologne defender Henrique Sereno was called up to the Portugal squad for the first time on Friday as coach Paulo Bento aims to plot a way past Denmark and Iceland and into the Euro 2012 finals.
Portugal have 13 points from their six matches and top Group H. But they lead the Danes and Norway only on goal difference with just the group winners assured of a place in the finals.
Goalkeeper Beto, defender Ricardo Costa, midfielders Ruben Amorim and Carlos Martins, as well as strikers Quaresma and Nuno Gomes are all recalled for the match against Iceland in Porto on October 7 as well as the trip to Copenhagen, four days later.
Experienced defender Ricardo Carvalho is the major absentee after he was handed a year's suspension for storming out of a training session on the eve of the match against Cyprus.
