Portugal is anxiously waiting to find out whether Cristiano Ronaldo will return to the national team list or not.
The decision will be announced soon by coach Roberto Martínez, who is expected to reveal the squad on Friday, March 20, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Meanwhile, Jorge Jesus, the coach of Al-Nassr FC, has given some indications about the situation of the Portuguese star.
According to him, the Saudi club would prefer that the striker does not travel immediately with the Portugal national football team due to his physical condition and Al-Nassr’s match schedule.
However, several Arab media outlets report that Ronaldo is expected to join the Portuguese national team, something that will only become clear once coach Martínez publishes the official squad list.
The 41-year-old forward is currently recovering from a muscle injury suffered at the end of February, which has kept him out of the team’s recent matches, while he is working intensively to return to full fitness as soon as possible.
In Portugal, there is great attention to see whether the historic captain of the national team will be part of the upcoming squad, as he remains the player with the most appearances and goals in the history of the Portuguese national team. ⚽
