Cristiano Ronaldo included in Portugal's Nations League squad amid retirement hints

Cristiano Ronaldo has been selected for Portugal’s upcoming Nations League matches against Wales, Norway, and Denmark. The veteran forward is 41 years old and hinted last month that he might be in his final year of professional football. New coach Jorge Jesus, making his first squad selection, previously managed Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, where they won the league title together. Jesus stated that Ronaldo's status within the team won’t shield him from performance-based decisions, as he has a different standing due to his extensive accolades. Meanwhile, Ronaldo seeks to reach 1,000 career goals, currently standing at 979. Portugal's Nations League campaign begins on September 24.
