Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to return to the national team during the November international break, according to Portuguese Football Federation president Pedro Proença.
Proença said the federation, coaching staff and players were united in their desire to see the Al-Nassr forward return to the squad.
“The Federation, the coach, all the teammates are aligned: we want Cristiano back. I expect him back already during the November international break,” Proença was quoted as saying by a football transfer expert on X on Saturday.
The FPF president also indicated that Ronaldo was willing to return to the national team, raising expectations of a possible comeback.
“Cristiano is also willing to return. He’s the best of all time,” Proença added.
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, remains one of the most prominent figures in Portuguese football, having represented his country for more than two decades.
His potential return would strengthen Portugal’s options ahead of its upcoming international fixtures. However, his inclusion will depend on the final squad selection.
