Forward Cristiano Ronaldo did not get into the starting lineup of the national team of Portugal for the match of the UEFA Nations League with the team of Norway, according to the website of the tournament.
The match of group A4 will be held in Oslo and will begin at 21:45 GMT.
In the previous match against Wales on September 24 (1-0), the 41-year-old Ronaldo took the field with a captain's armband and was replaced in the 67th minute.

The leader of the Norwegian national team Erling Holland will play against the Portuguese from the first minutes.
