The five-time Ballon d'Or winner returns to the national team after a 30-day suspension for leaving the training camp.
AI-generated summary
Ronaldo was suspended for 30 days after leaving the national team training camp on September 30, expressing dissatisfaction with coach Jesus' decision.
The information that Ronaldo was included in the full squad - previously reported by local media and confirmed by the association's spokesman - appeared before the final squad was announced, which is scheduled to take place on November 6.
The meeting with Denmark in the Nations League will take place on November 14 in Braga. Three days later, the Portuguese team will travel to Wales for the last match of the LN group stage.
30 days suspension
Last week, the federation announced that it had imposed a 30-day suspension on Ronaldo after he left the national team training camp on September 30. Because the penalty is retroactive - counted from the day he left the training camp - it does not prevent the five-time Ballon d'Or winner from returning next month.
Why was Cristiano Ronaldo punished?
Ronaldo left the national team training camp after failing to play in the 2-1 win over Norway in Oslo on September 27 and learning that he would not be in the starting lineup for the away match against Denmark. He later issued a statement, explaining his attitude by an alleged lack of loyalty from coach Jesus.
The defending champions, the Portuguese, won without their leader 4-2 in Copenhagen, and then defeated Norway again 2-1, this time at home. They collected all points after four rounds in group A4 and secured a place in the quarter-finals of the Nations League.
World football record holder
So far, Ronaldo has played for the national team 234 times and scored 146 goals, which in both statistics makes him a record holder, not only in Portuguese, but also in world football.
He made his debut in the national team in 2003, and his greatest success was winning the European Championship in 2016. However, in recent years, there have been more and more opinions that he plays in the national team due to his merits rather than his current form.
