Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly been pre-selected in Portugal's squad for the upcoming November international break despite an ongoing fued with Jorge Jesus.

He also took to social media to openly question Jesus with many believing it could have been a bitter end to an otherwise incredible international career.

Ronaldo was consequently handed a 30-day suspension and a €255 fine by The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF).

Per O Jogo, Ronaldo is now in-line to make a sensational return to the fold despite his ongoing feud with the manager.

It’s understood that his inclusion means a softening of tensions between the player and the staff, with the final squad announcement is not expected until Friday, November 6.
