Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed his departure from Portugal’s training camp after reports of a dispute with coach Jorge Jesus, ahead of their Nations League match against Denmark. Ronaldo announced on Instagram he would reveal the reasons later, following a conversation with the Portuguese Football Federation President. He had previously missed Portugal’s 2-1 win over Norway, where Jesus opted not to bring him on as a substitute. Despite not being injured, Ronaldo trained in the gym instead of with the squad on Monday and Tuesday. Jesus denied Ronaldo refused to train, stating it was normal for him to miss sessions after a match. FPF President Pedro Proenca traveled to Copenhagen to meet Jesus and Ronaldo. Spanish outlet Marca reported Ronaldo intended to fly to Madrid. Ronaldo, Portugal's record goalscorer and most-capped player, had previously expressed frustration with media scrutiny.
