CRISTIANO RONALDO TO MISS FOUR INTERNATIONAL MATCHES
Joseph Omoniyi
Cristiano Ronaldo who has been facing rape allegation recently, is set to miss Portugal’s next four internationals, the national coach Fernando Santos confirmed on Thursday, refusing to give any reasons.
Ronaldo had missed the two internationals Portugal played in September. At the time, Santos suggested that the 33-year-old’s absence was temporary and intended to help the star attacker adapt after his move from Real Madrid to Juventus.
Since then accusations that Ronaldo committed rape in 2009, which the player denies, have flogged the media.
This autumn, Portugal are due to play three Nations League games, against Poland on October 17 and against Italy and Poland in November and a friendly against Scotland later this month.
