Cristiano Ronaldo misses Portugal training session

Portugal captain and forward Cristiano Ronaldo missed the national team’s training session, Cabine Desportiva reported on the social network “X”.

According to the report, the 41-year-old footballer trained at the hotel because the stadium did not have the equipment required for his gym exercises.

Portugal defeated Norway 2-1 on Sept. 27 in Group 4 of League A of the UEFA Nations League. Ronaldo remained on the substitutes’ bench throughout the match and did not take the field.

Felix put Portugal ahead in the 17th minute. Erling Haaland equalized for Norway in the 51st minute, while Gonçalo Ramos scored Portugal’s winning goal three minutes later.

After the final whistle, the Portugal captain immediately headed to the dressing room beneath the stands.

The UEFA Nations League is a competition for European national teams organized by UEFA. It features matches between teams of comparable strength and forms part of the international football calendar alongside qualifying tournaments and friendly games.
