Lisbon – AFP – Cristiano Ronaldo’s presence on the preliminary squad for the Portugal national team ahead of next month’s UEFA Nations League matches opens the door to his return to the national side, following the dispute between him and coach Jorge Jesus, according to a source at the Portuguese Football Federation, as reported to AFP on Tuesday.
Ronaldo, 41, had abruptly left the Portugal national team camp on September 30 after the opening round of the Nations League, before accusing Jesus of reneging on his promise to give him a chance to play.
A spokesperson for the Portuguese Football Federation confirmed the accuracy of reports stating that Ronaldo is a candidate to return to the national team squad ahead of the matches against Denmark at home and Wales away on November 14 and 17, respectively.
