Nations League: Cristiano Ronaldo among Portugal's pre-summit squad

Cristiano Ronaldo is among the players pre-called up by the Portuguese national team for the next Nations League matches, paving the way for his return to the team after the clash with coach Jorge Jesus.

The news was reported by local media and confirmed by a spokesperson for the Football Federation. The indiscretion precedes the announcement of the squad that will face Denmark on November 14 in Braga, before moving to Wales three days later, thus closing the group stage of the Nations League.

The Portuguese technical commissioner should make the final list known on November 6, the spokesperson specified. Last week, the Federation announced that Cristiano Ronaldo had been punished with a 30-day ban for abandoning the national team's training camp on 30 September.

Since the sanction is retroactive, the suspension period ran from the day the player left camp, which does not prevent him from being available again next month.
