It's time to give away the doubt whether Cristiano Ronaldo would lead Portugal into the Euro 2016 after he was named in their 23-man squad for the finals.
The Real Madrid forward, who scored the decisive penalty as the club won their 11th European Cup last weekend, will skip Portugal's friendly against England at Wembley on Thursday, for the physical fitness maintenance.
The 31 year old had a thigh injury in the lead up to the Champions League final and is getting on well with a holiday in Ibiza after a long season of matches.
Cristiano will join up with the 23 member squad in plenty of time for their opening match against Iceland on June 14 in Saint Etienne.
Coach Fernando Santos, whose team will also meet Hungary and Austria in Group F, was able to confirm the squad he announced on May 17.
The 23 member Portugal squad has:
Goalkeepers: Anthony Lopes (Olympique Lyon), Eduardo (DÃnamo Zagreb), Rui Patricio (Sporting)
Defenders: Bruno Alves (Fenerbahçe), Cedric (Southampton), Jose Fonte (Southampton), Eliseu (Benfica), Pepe (Real Madrid), Raphael Guerreiro (Lorient), Ricardo Carvalho (Monaco), Vieirinha (VfL Wolfsburg).
Midfielders: Adrien Silva (Sporting), Joao Mario (Sporting), William Carvalho (Sporting), Andre Gomes (Valencia), Danilo Pereira (Porto), Renato Sanches (Benfica), Joao Moutinho (Monaco)
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Eder (Lille), Nani (Fenerbahce), Rafa (Braga), Ricardo Quaresma (Besiktas).
