'He trains to the limit' - Santos expects Ronaldo to star for Portugal at the 2022 World Cup

The Portugal boss hopes his star can fire the side to Nations League glory on Sunday and expects to have him around for some time.

Cristiano Ronaldo can continue playing at an elite level for club and country for at least three or four more years, according to Portugal head coach Fernando Santos.

Portugal face the Netherlands in Sunday's Nations League final in Porto thanks to their star forward's stunning hat-trick that secured a 3-1 triumph over Switzerland in midweek.

It moved the 34-year-old on to 88 international goals and Santos, who led his country to glory at Euro 2016, expects Ronaldo to still be serving his country with distinction by the time the 2022 World Cup in Qatar rolls around.
