Portugal: Cristiano Ronaldo preselected for November matches

This Tuesday, Jorge Jesus, Portugal's head coach, has already confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo's return to the national team. Tensions were high between the two men during the last international break.

A few weeks after the Cristiano Ronaldo saga during Portugal's international break last month, everything is now in place for the Seleção captain to return. Even though he has been handed a ridiculous €250 fine and a 30-day suspension, the former Real Madrid player is once again eligible for selection ahead of the next international break in November.

Ronaldo on Jorge Jesus's preliminary list

Cristiano Ronaldo's return to the national team is looking increasingly likely, as according to AFP, the Portuguese forward is already part of the preliminary squad for the upcoming matches against Denmark (November 14) and Wales (November 17).

It will be interesting to see the main party's reaction in the coming days. There had even been rumours that Cristiano Ronaldo would no longer wear the Seleção shirt as long as Jesus remained the head coach. The definitive answer will come on November 6, when the squad is announced.
