The Portuguese star had an absence in the stands on Saturday night in Porto.
Victim of a toe infection, Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to play the Portuguese Nations League match against Croatia on Saturday. The reigning European champions did not need their star to crush the vice-world champions (4-1). A victory that “CR7” followed from the stands of the Porto Dragon Stadium. Only problem, the fivefold Ballon d’Or had forgotten to put on his mask. A hostess from the Portuguese enclosure pointed it out to him and the star immediately put on his protection.
Placed on antibiotics to treat his right foot, Cristiano Ronaldo has not been able to train normally with his teammates since Wednesday, and remains uncertain for Portugal’s trip to Sweden on Tuesday. The 35-year-old has not played since August 7 and the scathing elimination of Juve by Olympique Lyonnais in the round of 16 of the Champions League. “He trained today (Saturday) and he’s feeling a lot better.
