The Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, announced on Wednesday that he had left the team’s training camp in Denmark after head coach Jorge Jesus told reporters that the iconic striker would not start their next match.
Ronaldo had been due to train with his teammates at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen on Wednesday but left abruptly after Jesus’s press conference. The veteran coach had said that Ronaldo, who spent the entire match on the bench against Norway on Sunday, would not start Thursday’s Nations League clash away to Denmark either.
