Nations League Round-up: Ronaldo cleared for Portugal return as Haaland injury fears ease

Jorge Jesus opens door for Ronaldo's international return

Following a 2-1 comeback victory over Norway, Portugal have secured early qualification for the Nations League quarter-finals with a perfect 12 points from four matches. Manager Jorge Jesus (72) and FPF President Pedro Proença have defused tensions, opening the door for Ronaldo (41) to return in November, provided he maintains his form at Al Nassr and retains his desire to play.

The truth behind Erling Haaland's injury scare after defeat

Erling Haaland was substituted in the 67th minute against Portugal after starting four consecutive matches. Norway manager Ståle Solbakken confirmed the striker was merely suffering from fatigue rather than a serious injury. The Norwegian frontman has flown back to England by private jet, giving him six days to recover ahead of Manchester City's clash with Liverpool.
