Ronaldo leaves Portugal training camp after coach drops him from upcoming match
Portugal captain and striker Cristiano Ronaldo said Wednesday he had walked out on the national team's training camp in Copenhagen after coach Jorge Jesus announced the 41-year-old player would be dropped from the team's next match against Denmark.
On Tuesday night, Jorge Jesus and Cristiano Ronaldo engaged in discussions that seemed to defuse the tense atmosphere within the national team camp. However, contrary to the coach's claims, there is indeed a significant problem. By late Wednesday afternoon, the 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo announced his departure from Portugal's training camp in Scandinavia via Instagram.
Following a conversation with the president of the Portuguese Football Federation, Ronaldo stated that he had decided to leave the national team's training camp. In due course, he promised to reveal the truth about the reasons behind his departure from the national side, to which he has always been committed, wishing good luck to his team-mates, without exception.
Ronaldo missed training with the national team for the third consecutive day, leaving Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, the venue for Thursday's Nations League clash between Portugal and Denmark. At a press conference held minutes before Ronaldo's departure, Jesus assured reporters that Ronaldo would participate in today's training session, stating that his absence from the previous day's practice was due to gym work.
