The situation surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo continues to generate talk in Portugal. Although Jorge Jesus had just assured everyone that his captain would take part in training in Copenhagen, the player ultimately did not appear on the pitch with his teammates. This absence comes on the eve of the match against Denmark and reignites questions regarding tensions between the two men.
“He is going to train today. He didn’t refuse to train yesterday. That’s impossible. That’s not Cris,” Jorge Jesus had stated just minutes earlier. Yet, according to A Bola, Ronaldo left Parken Stadium in the Portuguese national team’s minibus, without any official explanation being given to the journalists present.
Meanwhile, Record reports that Jorge Jesus went for the customary warm-up jog with the squad before returning to the dressing room alone. The manager then came back out a few minutes later. Could Ronaldo’s absence be linked to the announcement that Gonçalo Ramos would be starting against Denmark? For the moment, there is no official explanation to confirm this, and the saga surrounding the Portuguese captain continues.
