Portugal vs Liechtenstein: Will Cristiano Ronaldo play in Euro Qualifiers?

His
surprising
move
to
the
middle
east
from
Europe
also
put
a
big
question
mark
on
his
international
career.

However,
defying
the
odds
and
predictions
he
now
has
been
included
in
the
national
team
under
Roberto
Martinez’s
tutelage.

The
Portuguese
Football
Team
is
all
set
to
welcome
a
new
chapter
under
new
coach
Roberto
Martinez
as
the
Selecao
gears
up
for
European
Championship
qualifiers
against
Liechtenstein
and
Luxembourg
in
this
year’s
first
international
break.

After
a
disappointing
World
Cup
2022
where
they
crashed
out
in
the
Quarter
Finals
against
underdogs
Morocco,
a
lot
of
things
are
now
in
line
for
a
change.

Euro
and
Nations
League
winner
boss
Fernando
Santos
stepped
down
from
the
job
following
the
World
Cup.

Former
Belgium
manager
Roberto
Martinez
took
charge
of
the
side
next
and
this
will
be
his
first
session
with
the
new
squad.
Martinez
is
expected
to
explore
and
nurture
a
new
generation
of
Portuguese
youngsters.

However,
Martinez
has
clearly
insisted
in
his
recent
statements
that
veteran
Ronaldo
remains
a
key
figure
for
the
national
side
and
he
is
relying
on
him.

Ronaldo
however
is
unlikely
to
be
guaranteed
a
first-team
spot
in
the
squad
with
high-flying
Benfica
star
Goncalo
Ramos
expected
to
displace
him
in
the
number
nine
role.
Ronaldo
could
start
from
the
bench
against
Liechtenstein.
The
38-year-old
nonetheless
is
in
great
form
for
Al
Nassr
scoring
nine
goals
in
just
eight
league
appearances
in
the
Saudi
top
flight.
