Cristiano Ronaldo has been named in Roberto Martinez’s Portugal squad for the latest round of international fixtures in Euro 2024 qualifying.
The Al Nassr forward has scored an impressive 36 goals in 42 appearances in Saudi Arabia since joining almost a year ago following his departure from Manchester United.
Despite some doubts about the league’s football quality, Martinez has consistently included Ronaldo in every Portugal squad this year, and the striker has proven himself to be a valuable asset for his national team boss.
The Sporting News provides insight into Ronaldo’s availability for Thursday’s match.
