Portuguese FA boss hints Ronaldo can return from suspension next month

Ronaldo sparked the row by leaving the Nations League camp after being an unused substitute in the win over Norway.
Portuguese football association president Pedro Proenca hinted on Saturday that Cristiano Ronaldo might return from his suspension next month. The suspension came after Ronaldo left the Nations League camp in protest at being an unused substitute in Portugal's win over Norway. Ronaldo had accused coach Jorge Jesus of breaking his word about including him.
Proenca stated that the federation, coach and all team-mates want Ronaldo back. He also said that he is already expecting Ronaldo during the international break in November, though a final decision on the punishment remains pending from Portugal's disciplinary committee. Ronaldo, with 234 international caps and 146 goals for Portugal, could be nearing the end of his career as he targets 1,000 career goals.
