Cristiano Ronaldo has left Portugal’s training camp in Denmark after coach Jorge Jesus said he would again be left out of the starting line-up. Ronaldo announced his departure after speaking with the Portuguese Football Federation president, saying he would explain his reasons later; the decision comes amid visible disappointment at his reduced role in the team.

Jesus said there had been no rift, but acknowledged that Ronaldo was unhappy after staying on the bench throughout Portugal’s 2-1 Nations League win over Norway. He said he had planned to start Gonçalo Ramos, who scored the winner, against Denmark, with Ronaldo potentially coming on if needed. Ronaldo, 41, is Portugal’s leading scorer and most-capped player, with 146 goals in 234 appearances.
