Ronaldo left the national team and called for a plane from Madrid

Forward Cristiano Ronaldo left the stadium shortly after Portugal head coach Jorge Jesos announced his participation in training, and is set to fly from Copenhagen to Madrid in a few hours, Marca and A Bola write.

A private jet from Madrid is due to arrive for the player.

On Wednesday, at a press conference, Jesos said that he had agreed in advance with the 41-year-old forward a plan according to which he will not play in the Nations League matches with Norway and Denmark. The coach also said that Ronaldo did not give up training, as previously reported by A Bola, and will participate in the training.

The game with the Norwegians (2: 1) on September 27 was the first official match of the national team in 18 years, in which Ronaldo remained in reserve.

In total, the five-time winner of the Golden Ball has 146 goals in 234 matches for the national team.

The Portuguese will play the Danes in Copenhagen on October 1.
