Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal career isn't over just yet, with new boss Roberto Martinez set to include him for upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers.

Roberto Martinez is due to announce his Portugal squad this week for their upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.

If Martinez does fail to pick him for his first Portugal squad in the coming days then he may well regret not going out on his terms. Therefore, the notion that Ronaldo would accept a reduced role for his country is one that seems a non-starter. While he would be fine against this month’s opponents there a huge concerns that he longer would be able to compete against the best nations in Europe at Euro 2024.
