Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, has been included in Portugal’s first squad under new head coach Jorge Jesus, continuing his international career after the 2026 World Cup, which he has said will be his last. Ronaldo, Portugal’s record scorer and most-capped player with 233 appearances and 146 goals, will lead a 25-player squad as Portugal begins defending its UEFA Nations League title. Jesus previously coached Ronaldo at Al-Nassr and has also selected Nuno Tavares, Samuel Soares, João Palhinha and Fábio Silva, alongside established players including Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Rafael Leão and Gonçalo Ramos. Portugal’s League A Group 4 campaign is scheduled to include matches against Wales, Norway and Denmark beginning September 24, 2026, although published accounts differ on some schedule details.

Kawhi Leonard Returns to Raptors in Trade

The proposed Kawhi Leonard trade between the Clippers and Raptors remains in flux as the Clippers’ front office lacks an interim governor after the NBA imposed a $30 million fine and suspensions on owner Steve Ballmer, Gillian Zucker, and Lawrence Frank for a salary-cap circumvention investigation, complicating league approval of the deal. Despite assurances there is no league-level holdup, internal governance issues and ongoing investigations continue to delay finalizing Leonard’s return to Toronto in exchange for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, and multiple draft assets.

The Steelers won, but their offense overall struggled, and the team needs Metcalf to rebound quickly after the costly drops and missed opportunities as the season progresses.
