Cristiano Ronaldo is not ruled out from returning to the Portugal squad after he left the team’s camp last week amid reported tensions with the manager. Multiple outlets say Portugal coach Jorge Jesus and some team-mates indicate they would accept Ronaldo’s return.
Jorge Jesus publicly says the decision on whether Ronaldo comes back rests with him. The federation president, Pedro Proenca, also comments that the incident was a misunderstanding and signals support for Ronaldo.
The reports also provide context on Ronaldo’s standing in Portugal, noting he is both the national team’s record scorer and its most-capped player. While outlets focus on different details, they broadly agree that Ronaldo’s earlier walkout does not end his international involvement and that negotiations or a final decision could follow depending on Ronaldo’s choice.
