Cristiano Ronaldo has announced that he has left Portugal’s national team training camp following a press conference by head coach Jorge Jesus and a conversation with Portuguese Football Federation president Pedro Proença. Ronaldo made the announcement on social media on Wednesday, without providing specific details about the reasons behind his decision.
The departure comes amid reports of tension surrounding Ronaldo’s role in the team. The Portugal captain was an unused substitute during the recent 2–1 Nations League victory over Norway, while Jorge Jesus had also indicated that Ronaldo would not start the upcoming match against Denmark.
Ronaldo said he would reveal the reasons for his departure at a later time and emphasized his long-standing dedication to Portugal. He ended his message by wishing the national team and his teammates success in their upcoming matches.
The Portuguese Football Federation confirmed that Ronaldo had left the camp and said preparations for the upcoming fixtures would continue with the remaining squad members.
