Chelsea manager Graham Potter has appeared to back Erik ten Hag's decision to axe Cristiano Ronaldo from his squad following the striker's tunnel incident on Wednesday night. Ronaldo trudged down the tunnel during United's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in midweek and has been dropped from the squad for the upcoming match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The Portuguese international trained alone at Carrington on Friday and will not travel to London for the Premier League clash against Potter's side on Saturday night.
Ten Hag confirmed during his press conference that Ronaldo had refused to come on against Spurs, with the former Real Madrid man proceeding to walk down the tunnel before the full-time whistle.
