    Luis Figo should celebrate a timely return to form at club level by winning his 100th full international cap for Portugal in Wednesday's (February 18) friendly match against England.
    The Real Madrid forward will become only the second Portuguese international to reach the landmark, after Fernando Couto, and will be presented with a special award by the Portuguese Football Federation before kickoff at the Algarve stadium.
    England's visit to Portugal will provide a useful gauge of the hosts preparations with just a few months to go before the start of Euro 2004.
