Wolves defender Toti Gomes is counting on a Portugal debut.

Toti is part of the Portugal squad this week.

He told the Wolves website: It means a lot. Every player wants to have that call up from his national country. Of course, I've been waiting to do it [make his senior debut] and hopefully very soon it will happen, but I'm still very happy to have received the call up and have that confidence from the coach, Roberto [Martinez].

I met him before when he signed with the national team, he went around speaking with all the players. He came into the training ground and spoke with us Portuguese guys so we could know what work and what kinds of things he does, but I'm really happy for that moment.

There's always hope! On the bench, you're always hoping to go and have some minutes, but just being out there and be around those guys, who maybe only a couple of years before I was watching on the TV or playing as on the PlayStation.

Now, I am with them, training, and it's a really good moment."
