Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly left Portugals camp following manager Jorge Jesus comments about leaving him on the bench for their 2-1 win over Norway, according to Spanish outlet Marca. The report indicates the legendary 42-year-old is set to board his private jet to Madrid in the next few hours after the fallout, despite Jesus insisting only a few hours ago that there was never a problem between the pair.Ronaldos international future is now said to be in serious doubt, with the forward unlikely to feature in Portugals remaining two Nations League games against Denmark and Norway.The former Real Madrid and Manchester United star was an unused substitute in Portugals win in Oslo on Sunday, with his replacement Goncalo Ramos on the scoresheet in the victory.He started in the Selecaos 1-0 win over Wales last week but was substituted in the 67th minute.Portugal manager Jesus: Im in charge of who playsWhile Jesus played down in any issue between the pair in his pre-match press conference for the Denmark game, he made it clear that he would be in charge of the decisions, and that reputations will not affect his tactical choices.I can promise whatever I want. Im the coach. Im the coach, I told the player he wasnt going to play, Jesus said.Ill put you on the bench. If I need you for 30 minutes, youll play; if not, you wont. No player will make me change my mind. Not him, not anyone in football. Not any president. Never, absolutely no one.More to follow.
