Portugal national team coach Jorge Jesus stated on Sunday that superstar Cristiano Ronaldo can return to the squad if he wishes to do so. The announcement comes despite Ronaldo previously walking out on his teammates, and follows Portugal's victory over Norway without the veteran attacker, a win that secured their place in the Nations League quarter-finals.
Ronaldo, who made his international debut in 2003 at the age of 18, has recently indicated that the current period will 'probably' be his final year in football. The coach's remarks clarify the player's potential future availability for the national team amid ongoing transitions in his career.
