Ronaldo shocks Portugal: he's fine, but he's not training. Controversy behind the bench with Norway?

A mystery surrounds Portugal's pre-match match with Denmark: Cristiano Ronaldo, after 90 minutes on the bench in the victory over Norway, has not trained with the team. CR7 has left Eleda Stadion, the Malmö stadium where the Portuguese are preparing for the Copenhagen challenge, while the national team was engaged in training. The striker arrived on the pitch about half an hour before the start of the session, but, like João Félix and Francisco Conceição, the other two injured, he did not participate in the work with the group. Portugal does not intend to create an issue, but, as evidence that something is happening, Pedro Proença, the president of the Portuguese Football Federation, hastily traveled to Copenhagen to clarify Cristiano Ronaldo's situation, as reported by the daily A Bola.

Reconstruction The Portuguese captain consulted with Jorge Jesus and, shortly afterwards, left the Malmö facility to return to the hotel where the Portuguese delegation is staying. There, he carried out specific work in the gym. According to what the Portuguese Federation (FPF) reports, the stadium did not in fact have the necessary equipment to enable Ronaldo to carry out the scheduled training. The FPF has not given any details about the type of training that Ronaldo was supposed to carry out nor has it signaled any possible physical problem. An unclear situation that has fueled various speculations, especially after CR7's stay on the bench against Norway. Ronaldo had not hidden his disappointment at the end of the match in Oslo, leaving the field without greeting the fans.

Ronaldo, after missing training, tried to calm the storm by sending a coded message on social media. The Portugal captain published a photo of himself in the national team uniform, accompanied by two emojis: the Portuguese flag and a red heart. Is the matter closed or is it a declaration of unconditional love for Portugal? In the coming days, perhaps with the words of the protagonists, the situation will definitely be clearer.
