Ronaldo returns to the Portugal national team

Portugal national team head coach Jorge Jesus is reported to be planning to include Cristiano Ronaldo in the wider squad for the UEFA Nations League matches in November. According to the report, the decision was announced through statements in the Portuguese press.

The 41-year-old forward left the national team camp without permission ahead of the October matches against Denmark and Norway. As a result, he received a 30-day suspension and a fine of 255 euros.

Jesus is reportedly set to select Ronaldo for the matches against Denmark and Wales despite what happened. Portugal's remaining two Nations League matches will be played against these opponents. The final squad is expected to be announced on 6 November.

Ronaldo left the camp ahead of the Denmark match following a disagreement with the head coach. He later stated that he had not completely abandoned the national team. Ronaldo has worn the Portugal shirt in 234 matches and scored 146 goals in those games.
