🚨 Breaking news: Cristiano Ronaldo left out of Portugal squad! | OneFootball

The big news in Portugal is that for the March international break, Cristiano Ronaldo will not be called up.

The Portuguese star has been dealing with some physical discomfort lately, and according to 'A Bola', this is what would keep him from being called up to the 'Seleçao'.

Roberto Martínez explained it in a press conference: "He is not at risk (for the World Cup). It's a minor muscle injury. We believe he should be back in one or two weeks. But what he has done this season shows he is in great shape; we have no physical concerns about him."

The Al Nassr forward will miss the trip to the United States and Mexico, where the Portuguese will face two of the host countries.
