After taking a break from the victory over Sweden, Cristinao Ronaldo rejoined the Portuguese team in order to get ready for the friendly encounter against Slovenia.

Ronaldo confirmed his comeback to the game by posting a snapshot of himself training on Instagram on the afternoon of March 24. The photo was taken when he was wearing a Portuguese shirt. After then, on March 24, the Portuguese team’s X account published a photo that was very similar to the one that was released in a sequence of photos from the training session. On the evening of March 26, Ronaldo is expected to participate in a friendly encounter that will take place in Slovenia.

In the past, coach Roberto Martinez did not call Ronaldo up for the friendly play against Sweden that took place at home on March 21. The match ended with a score of 5-2. Following a string of matches spent playing for Al Nassr Club in Saudi Arabia, he desires for the striker, who is 39 years old, to have additional time to recuperate. An opportunity presented itself, and Ronaldo took advantage of it by going on vacation with his family.

For the first time since 2007, Bruma became the first player other than Ronaldo to wear the number 7 shirt for the Portuguese national team. This occurred when the captain was missing. Braga Club’s wing striker even scored a goal in the victory over Sweden, which was a significant accomplishment. There is a lack of clarity on the shirt number that Bruma will wear once Ronaldo has returned.

The record for most goals scored at the international level is currently held by Ronaldo, who has scored 128 goals while playing in 205 matches. Since the year 2003, when he was only 18 years old, he has taken part in the team’s activities. The victory at the 2016 European Championship is Ronaldo’s accomplishment with Portugal.

It is Ronaldo’s hope that he will be able to go to the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany this summer. Portugal will compete in the European Championship’s Group F alongside the Czech Republic, Turkey, and the team that emerges victorious from the qualification match between Greece and Georgia. With a total of 24 teams competing, the event is broken up into six groups. The top two teams in each group, as well as the four teams that finished in second place, will move on to the eighth round of competition.

In addition, Portugal played friendly matches against Finland, Croatia, and the Republic of Ireland prior to the introduction of the Euro.
