Portuguese Football Federation shares big update on Cristiano Ronaldo returning to national team

Portuguese Federation president Pedro Proença has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo will be returning to the Portugal squad in November. He said that the 41-year-old has made a decision, as have the federation and the coach.

In a statement to the media, Proença said Ronaldo is keen to return and hailed him as the best of all time. He added that Jorge Jesus also wants the striker in the squad and said: "The Federation, the coach, all the teammates are aligned: we want Cristiano back.

I expect him back already during the November international break. Cristiano is also willing to return.

He's the best of all time." (via Fabrizio Romano ) In a previous statement, Proença said a misunderstanding between Ronaldo and Jesus led to his departure from the national team camp. He added that a quick solution was possible, with the forward rejoining the squad in November.

"What happened between him and Jorge Jesus was simply a misunderstanding that needs to be resolved internally. Cristiano is part of the national team; he is our icon, and he captained the team in the first of the four matches.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a Portuguese icon and an exceptional player. He could have ended his career at the World Cup, but he didn't because of his love for his national team." "I can attest to the bond he shares with the Portuguese people and our national team.

Now that the four matches are over, we have the time and calm to sit down together and resolve the misunderstanding. Cristiano is part of our legacy, and he will always be here whenever the coach wants him.

Portugal take on Denmark and Wales in the final two UEFA Nations League group-stage matches this season. They currently lead the group, having won all four matches so far."
