Cristiano Ronaldo has been left off of Portugal’s roster for the March international window ahead of friendlies against Mexico and the United States later this month, yet there is “no danger” of the legendary forward missing the World Cup in the summer.
The 41-year-old star was set to play his first-ever match on Mexican soil on March 28 at the official reopening of Azteca Stadium—an iconic location that has housed performances from many soccer legends, including Pelé and Diego Maradona. It was to be a momentous debut; however, the striker is still not 100% after suffering a right hamstring injury on Feb. 28 in a match for his Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr.
