Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo will miss Friday's friendly against
Mexico as he continues to battle tendinosis around his left knee and a
thigh injury, the Portuguese federation (FPF) said on Thursday.
Midfielder Raul Meireles and central defender Pepe will also sit out the
match in Boston on Saturday, the FPF said in a statement.
They will maintain the programme pre-established by the medical
department for their injuries, with specific work in the hotel and some
sporting interludes on the pitch," said the FPF's daily medical
bulletin.
Portuguese media said the trio would stay at the team hotel outside New York instead of travelling to Boston.
Ronaldo is suffering from an injury to his left thigh as well as
patellar tendinosis, Meireles has an injury to his left thigh and Pepe a
muscular injury in his right leg.
Ronaldo has yet to take part in a full training session with his
teammates since joining the Portugal camp one week ago and also missed
last Saturday's friendly.
