Ronaldo Leaves Portugal Camp Amid Reports of Rift with Coach Jesus
- On Wednesday, Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed he had left Portugal's training camp in Copenhagen following head coach Jorge Jesus's press conference and a conversation with Portuguese Football Federation president Pedro Proença.
- Tensions escalated after Ronaldo remained an unused substitute in Portugal's 2-1 Nations League victory over Norway on Sunday, September 27, prompting him to miss subsequent team training sessions and perform individual gym work instead.
- Coach Jesus dismissed feud reports, asserting, "No player will ever make a decision for me," while confirming striker Goncalo Ramos would start against Denmark on Thursday with "rules are the same for everyone."
- Departing Parken Stadium in a federation vehicle, Ronaldo posted on Instagram he would "tell all Portuguese people the truth about the reasons" for his exit in due course, leaving his international future uncertain.
- Portugal faces Denmark on Thursday and hosts Norway on October 4 without their record goalscorer; the 41-year-old's 146 goals in 234 appearances underscore the significance of his absence from the UEFA Nations League campaign.
