Fans are worried because Cristiano wont play Portugal’s friendlies, but the real reason for his absence

EURO 2024 is approaching, and most of the players are either training with their national teams or are arriving at their national team camps to prepare for the big international tournament taking place in Germany. Cristiano Ronaldo and the Portuguese national team are preparing for the big tournament, and CR7 is ready to become the team’s main striker. The Portuguese national team will have three friendly matches before the start of the tournament this summer, and the first match will be on Tuesday against Finland. Then Portugal will take on Croatia next Saturday. The bad news for the national team is that Ronaldo will not be playing in these two friendly matches. Fans are concerned about the reason why he will not be called up for the match, but it is not due to an injury. Ronaldo will be rested for Portugal’s next two friendly matches against Finland and Croatia. Roberto Martinez has given Cristiano a week’s vacation. If Ronaldo cuts his vacation short, it’s possible he could play against Croatia.

The Portuguese national team has already started training ahead of the friendly match against Finland in two days. Ronaldo was not seen during the training session since he was not available, and it looks likely that he will not play the Croatia match as well. CR7 played with Al Nassr two days ago, which makes sense as to why Ronaldo is not playing the match against Finland so soon.

Ronaldo is currently on vacation with his family at home. Ronaldo has had a long season with Al Nassr and this week will be a short break for him as the EURO 2024 will be another intense tournament for him. Ronaldo could be back to training properly with the team next week when Portugal has one more friendly before the tournament in Germany starts.

The friendly match CR7 could play in

If Ronaldo does take his one-week break given by Portugal national team manager Roberto Martinez, he will likely participate in the friendly match against Ireland on June 11th. Portugal’s first match in EURO 2024 will be against the Czech Republic on June 18th.
