Roberto Martinez will hold talks with Cristiano Ronaldo over his international football thoughts after naming the former Manchester United forward in his first Portugal squad.
Ronaldo's last appearance for the Portuguese national team ended in disappointment as the current Al Nassr captain was part of the squad beaten by Morocco in the World Cup quarter-finals. The defeat would end up costing Fernando Santos his job as Portugal boss and he was replaced by ex-Wigan Athletic, Everton and Belgium manager Martinez.
The 38-year-old has been handed a call-up in the first international squad since the World Cup for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. Speaking about his decision to include the ex Real Madrid man, Martinez said: "Cristiano Ronaldo is a very committed player. He can bring experience and is a very important figure for the team. I don't look at age."
