Portugal, without more stars in the last match

It seems that the former player of Manchester United has no physical problems, trains individually in the gym, writes the Daily Mail.

Having already secured qualification for the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, coach Fernando Santos may rest several of his stars.

In addition to Ronaldo, Otavio, Danilo Pereira and Nunu Mendes were also absent from training on Wednesday.

Portugal have maximum points in Group H after wins over Ghana and Uruguay. In the last game, Lusitanians will meet with South Korea on Friday, from 17:00.
