Ronaldo Apologises for Portugal Camp Exit, Rules Out International Retirement

Cristiano Ronaldo has apologised to Portuguese fans after leaving the national team camp, but says he is not retiring from international football. The 41-year-old said he remains available for selection once any suspension is served, provided he is fit and playing regularly for his club. Ronaldo said his decision to leave followed a disagreement with Portugal manager Jorge Jesus after he was left on the bench against Norway. Ronaldo said the manager's alleged failure to honour a promise of playing time had a “defining impact” on him. Portugal are due to face Denmark on November 14 and Wales on November 17, with Ronaldo making himself available for the fixtures.
