Portugal

There had been doubt surrounding the forward's international future following the 2022 World Cup, but incoming head coach Roberto Martinez immediately made it clear that Ronaldo was in his plans.

At the age of 39, Ronaldo appears destined to play at Euro 2024, and he will be bidding to add to his 205 caps during the upcoming international break.

Ronaldo has scored 128 goals for Portugal, with the second-highest goalscorer in the current squad proving to be Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes on 19.

There are three uncapped players in the squad, with Union Berlin's Diogo Leite, Porto's Francisco Conceicao and Vitoria de Guimaraes' Jota Silva named in the latest selection.

"It will allow us to gather information to put together a balanced team," Portugal boss Martinez told reporters at a press conference when asked about naming a 32-man squad for the friendlies.

"These two matches are very good opportunities for the players to show what they can bring to the group."

Ronaldo is not the oldest player in the squad, with Pepe included at the age of 41, having demonstrated his quality once again for Porto throughout the campaign.

Diogo Jota is a notable absentee, with the Liverpool attacker not available for selection due to injury.

Pedro Neto, who has been in excellent form for Wolverhampton Wanderers during the 2023-24 campaign, could also not be selected by Martinez due to a hamstring issue.

Portugal have five friendlies in the diary against Sweden, Slovenia, Finland, Croatia and Republic of Ireland before opening their Euro 2024 campaign against Czech Republic on June 18.

The Iberian nation won the European Championship in 2016, but they were knocked out of the 2020 tournament in the round of 16 by Belgium.
