Comments Off on Portuguese Football Federation Issues Brief Statement on Ronaldo’s Absence

Tensions continue to rise within the Portugal national team between the 41-year-old captain and head coach Jorge Jesus. For the match against Norway, Jesus started Gonçalo Ramos, and he has already confirmed that the Paris Saint-Germain striker will also feature against Denmark. Shortly after this announcement, CR7 missed the team’s evening training session.

The Portuguese Football Federation issued a brief statement addressing the situation. “João Félix has joined the team. Francisco Conceição (unavailable for tomorrow’s match) and Cristiano Ronaldo did not train. Thank you,” read the official message posted on fpf.pt.
