Lisbon, Portugal: Portugal coach Roberto Martínez has included Cristiano Ronaldo in his squad list for the first two Nations League matches following the veteran forward’s disappointing European Championship.
Martínez announced the squad on Friday for its home games against Croatia on Sept. 5 and Scotland on Sept. 8.
The 39-year-old Ronaldo holds the record of 130 goals for international men’s soccer.
But he went scoreless in all five of Portugal’s games at Euro 2024 before it was eliminated in a penalty shootout by France in the quarterfinals.
Martínez said after Euro 2024 his team is starting "a new cycle for the 2026 World Cup.”
