Portugal national team coach Jorge Jesus has left the decision on the veteran star Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to the squad in Ronaldo’s own hands. After a 2-1 victory over Norway, Jesus said Ronaldo could return to the lineup “if he wants,” adding, “For me, if Cristiano, in the next call-up, plays for Al Nassr, then he will be a player who can be called up. If he wants, he will return to the national team.” He also said he is ready to speak with Ronaldo if the latter wishes, clarifying, “If he wants, as we did before this call-up, we spoke before the call-up, and we can speak before the next one. But Cristiano is the one who will decide.”
