Jesus takes the first step, Ronaldo has to take the next one

Cristiano Ronaldo has been included in the preliminary squad for Portugal's upcoming matches, following a one-month suspension after leaving the national team's camp. The Portuguese Football Federation has been actively working to facilitate his return, with Pedro Proença involved in daily communications. The national coach, Jorge Jesus, sees these matches as a chance to test new strategies, especially since Portugal is close to securing a top spot in their group. Alongside Ronaldo, other players from Al Nassr, including João Félix and Samu Costa, have also received notifications for the preliminary call-up.
