Cristiano Ronaldo, very doubtful against Croatia due to an infection

As Fernando Santos, Portugal coach recognized, It is very difficult for Cristiano Ronaldo to play this Saturday against Croatia on the first day of the second edition of the Nations League. “I have many doubts,” said the coach. The current Juventus star suffers an infection in his right foot and may miss the duel between the European and Nations League champion and the world runner-up

“I doubt that Cristiano is one hundred percent,” Santos said at a press conference. For the third day in a row, the 35-year-old captain of Portugal missed his team's collective training and focused on working out in the gym.

This infection could be due to a bee sting, according to the Portugal coach himself. CR7 was visited by a dermatologist and receives antibiotic treatment. “In an injury you can calculate the recovery time. In an infection, no ”, were the words of Santos. Lille midfielder Renato Sanches is low against both Croatia and Tuesday against Sweden.

Cristiano Ronaldo, author of 37 goals in all competitions last season, has not played since the elimination suffered by Juventus against Lyon in the second round of the Champions League. For him to continue adding successes with his team is a great challenge.
