Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal and Jorge Jesus
27 October 2026
Cristiano Ronaldo has been included in Portugal’s provisional squad for November’s UEFA Nations League fixtures despite his recent suspension and disagreement with national team coach Jorge Jesus. His selection raises the possibility of an international return after leaving the team’s September training camp.
The Portuguese Football Federation confirmed Ronaldo’s provisional inclusion, with the final squad scheduled to be announced on 6 November. His 30-day suspension was backdated to 30 September, making him eligible for the international window. Portugal are scheduled to host Denmark on 14 November before facing Wales three days later. Inclusion in the provisional list does not guarantee that Ronaldo will play.
