Notable absence…

Cristiano Ronaldo will not participate in the March friendlies. The renowned Portuguese forward is resting due to a muscle issue while on break from his club in Saudi Arabia, Al-Nassr.

Portugal’s coach, Roberto Martinez, remains confident that Ronaldo will be ready for the World Cup.

“No, he’s not in danger,” Martinez stated during the roster announcement. “It’s a minor muscle injury, and we expect him to recover in a week or two. Everything Cristiano has done physically this season indicates that he is in excellent shape.”
