Is Cristiano Ronaldo playing today? Latest availability for Portugal vs Luxembourg Euro 2024 qualifying match

Cristiano Ronaldo might not play his club football in Europe's top tiers or the UEFA Champions League anymore, but he continues to break records for Portugal.

Ronaldo is men's football's leading international goalscorer and the top appearance-maker for his country, having been playing for Portugal for 20 years, earning 201 caps and scoring a phenomenal 123 goals.

The 38-year-old is now trying to help his nation qualify for Euro 2024, having captained them to victory at Euro 2016 but fallen short in all the other major tournaments in which he's participated.

He played the full game against Slovakia last time out, although it was former United teammate Bruno Fernandes who scored the only goal of the game to secure the win.

The Sporting News explains Ronaldo's situation for Portugal and whether he will be available for selection against Luxembourg tonight (Monday).

Portugal have a perfect record in Euro 2024 qualifying Group J, winning five games out of five, and can cement their spot atop the group with victory over surprise-package Luxembourg. That should help them ease to qualification.
