RONALDO MISSES TRAINING, WARMUP WITH STOMACH BUG

Cristiano Ronaldo missed a training session with Portugal because of a stomach bug that will rule him out of a warm-up match against Nigeria, the team said. Portugal is scheduled to play against Nigeria in Lisbon on Thursday before flying to Qatar, and coach Fernando Santos said Ronaldo will not feature in the game. Ronaldo’s build-up to the World Cup has been fraught following the release of excerpts of a TV interview in which he said he feels “betrayed” by Man United and does not respect manager Erik ten Hag. Portugal’s opening group game at the World Cup is against Ghana on Nov. 24. Korea and Uruguay in group.
