FROM

URUGUAY’S Rodrigo Bentancur praised Pepe as the Portugal star tries to write World Cup history.

The former Real Madrid defender, 39, could be the second oldest outfield player to start a World Cup match after

Cameroon’s Roger Milla who played at 1994 aged 42.

Pepe could replace injured Danilo Fereira and Bentancur (left) said: “Pepe’s an extraordinary player, he’s had a wonderful career and he’ll be a very good opponent and a test for us.“
