Cristiano Ronaldo & Jorge Jesus Statements as Portuguese Superstar Leaves National Team Camp

Ronaldo said he left the squad after warming up for 30 minutes without playing, following a 2-1 win over Norway, according to Jorge Jesus.

  • Cristiano Ronaldo announced his departure from the Portugal national team training camp on Tuesday following a conversation with the president of the Portugal Football Association.
  • Manager Jorge Jesus left Ronaldo as an unused substitute during Sunday's 2-1 win over Norway, despite previously promising the forward playing time in the Nations League match.
  • Jesus later apologized for making Ronaldo warm up for 30 minutes without entering, stating, "Any player when you spend 20 or 30 minutes warming up and then don't get on, no-one is happy."
  • The FPF issued a statement confirming the team remains focused on upcoming Nations League fixtures against Denmark and Norway with the 24 remaining squad members.
  • At 41, Ronaldo plays for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, but critics question whether he can still compete at the international level.
