Chelsea midfielder Deco has opened the door to him playing in Portugal's Euro2012 campaign.
Deco has hinted in the past the World Cup could be his final participation with Portugal.
But he said: "If I am called to the Portuguese national team (for South Africa 2010) I am going to give the very best from me to the team.
"This could be my last participation in the national team as I don't think that I will be fit for Euro 2012."
