Cristiano Ronaldo to miss Portugal friendlies against Mexico and USA | OneFootball

The Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been absent from his team, Saudi side Al Nassr, since the end of February, was not included in Portugal’s squad list for the friendly matches in preparation for the 2026 World Cup, against Mexico and the United States.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner suffered a hamstring injury during a Saudi league match on February 28.

Portugal’s coach, Spaniard Roberto Martínez, indicated during an interview with the local press this week that CR7 is suffering from a “mild injury,” although he did not confirm at the time whether the player would be out of these two friendlies.

The Portuguese national team, current champions of the UEFA Nations League, will face Mexico on Saturday, March 28, at the iconic Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, and the United States on Tuesday, March 31, in Atlanta.
