Roberto Martinez has named Cristiano Ronaldo in the preliminary list of 32 players. However, Ronaldo was removed from the match against Sweden. In addition to Ronaldo, other notable stars such as Diogo Dalot, Joao Cancelo, Danilo Pereira, Otavio, Ruben Neves, Vitinha and Joao Felix were also given a rest.

According to ESPN, the reason Ronaldo was removed from the match against Sweden was so that this player could have more time to rest. The 39-year-old superstar is on a short vacation with his family in Saudi Arabia. Coach Martinez also gave Ronaldo more rest because next summer will definitely be extremely busy with the Euro 2024 finals in Germany.

Ronaldo will return to the Portuguese squad and will probably play in the match against Slovenia. CR7 will almost certainly have a place in Euro 2024. Currently, Portugal is also considered one of the strongest teams in the tournament.

After completing his duty with the national team, Ronaldo will return to continue fighting for Al-Nassr. After the match against Slovenia on March 26, Ronaldo will play with Al-Nassr to face Al-Tai in the Saudi Pro League on March 30.

Currently, Al-Nassr and Ronaldo only have one arena left to fight: the Saudi Pro League. This team was eliminated from the AFC Champions League by Al-Ain after a penalty shootout. However, the chance for Al-Nassr to overthrow Al-Hilal is also extremely low when the gap between the two teams is 12 points.
