“When I quit the national team, I won’t tell anyone in advance… At the moment what I want is to be able to help the Selecao,” Ronaldo said in an interview with Portuguese TV this week.
Ronaldo has kicked off the new season with four goals in four matches for Saudi club Al-Nassr and is likely to continue leading Portugal’s attack, especially with Paris Saint-Germain striker Goncalo Ramos sidelined by an ankle injury.
While veteran defender Pepe recently announced his retirement at 41, coach Roberto Martinez is looking ahead, calling up 17-year-old Sporting Lisbon winger Geovany Quenda.
Chelsea left-back Renato Veiga and Lille defender Tiago Santos are also new additions to the squad for the matches against Croatia and Scotland on September 5 and 8 in Lisbon.
