Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, 16, has received his first call-up to the Portugal Under-17 squad under coach Filipe Ramos. He will participate in the European Championship qualifiers in November, facing Andorra, Bulgaria, and Serbia in Lisbon. Ronaldo Jr currently develops in the academy of Saudi club Al-Nassr, where his father, Cristiano Ronaldo, plays for the first team. This call-up presents a rare opportunity for the father and son to cross paths at the national team's training base, especially if Cristiano Ronaldo joins Jorge Jesus's squad for the UEFA Nations League matches against Denmark and Wales. The elder Ronaldo recently served a 30-day suspension from the national team for walking out during previous UEFA Nations League fixtures. He continues his pursuit of 1,000 career goals, currently standing at 985 after a recent hat-trick for Al-Nassr. He also missed an AFC Champions League Elite trip due to security concerns.
