Portugal defender, João Cancelo, has taken a stance regarding the potential return of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Portuguese national team in the forthcoming FIFA break.

This is following the recent institutional challenges involving the 41-year-old and head coach Jorge Jesus.

Portugal successfully recovered from a deficit to defeat Norway 2-1, thereby securing their advancement to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Nations League.

Cancelo equalized the match in the 38th minute with an exceptional long-range effort, followed by Gonçalo Ramos extending the lead in the 79th minute
