Portugal boss Luiz Felipe Scolari will bring back his star names for the Euro 2008 quarter-final clash with Germany at St Jakob-Park in Basel.Chelsea-bound Scolari made eight changes for Portugal's final Group A fixture against Switzerland but watched his side suffer a 2-0 defeat against the co-hosts, although the match had no bearing on the final standings.And the Brazilian has confirmed that he will revert to the players on duty in their opening victories against Turkey and Czech Republic.Cristiano Ronaldo has been hampered by a minor calf problem, but that is unlikely to prevent him returning to form a front three spearheaded by Nuno Gomes with Simao on the flank.Deco provides the creative drive from midfield while Armando Petit and Joao Moutinho take on more defensive duties.Chelsea trio Ricardo Carvalho, Paulo Ferreira and Jose Bosingwa make up the back four alongside Pepe, with goalkeeper Ricardo behind them as the last line of defence.But Bosingwa and Ferreira are just one booking away from a suspension that would rule them out of a semi-final appearance should Portugal progress.Low blowGermany coach Joachim Low will not be allowed any contact with his team once they arrive at St Jakob-Park after being handed a one-match ban by Uefa for being sent to the stands during the victory over Austria.Low is not allowed to enter the dressing room, tunnel or technical area and must watch from the stands with assistant Hans-Dieter Flick taking on the coaching responsibilities.Germany did not have the luxury enjoyed by Portugal of resting key players for their final Group B match, as they had to avoid defeat against Austria to be sure of progress.Michael Ballack's thumping free-kick ensured a 1-0 victory, but there are injury concerns over two key players ahead of the last eight clash.Striker Lukas Podolski was forced off in the closing stages with a calf problem, while midfielder Torsten Frings broke a rib during the second half, but managed to battle on for the full 90 minutes.Bastian Schweinsteiger is available again following his one-match ban for being dismissed against Croatia, while Ballack and former Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann are one booking away from suspension.HistoryThe playing surface at St Jakob-Park was hastily relaid after Portugal's clash with Switzerland on Monday, with concerns already raised over the quality of the patchwork pitch.From the 15 meetings between the two teams, Germany have the edge over their opponents with seven victories to Portugal's three.Their last meeting came in the third-place play-off for the 2006 World Cup when Jurgen Klinsmann's men triumphed 3-1, but Portugal enjoyed a 3-0 success at Euro 2000 thanks to Sergio Conceicao's hat-trick in the group stages.
