Fernando Santos assumed, in a press conference, that he will consider the dismissal of Cristiano Ronaldo from the work of the team. Against the Republic of Ireland, the Portuguese striker received his second yellow card in the World Cup qualifying phase and is therefore suspended and unable to participate in the game in Azerbaijan, next Tuesday.
Before, Portugal will face Qatar, in a friendly game scheduled for Saturday in Hungary. The National Selector recalled the wear and tear of travels from Portugal to Hungary and then to Azerbaijan, so CR7 could be spared and allowed to join Manchester United earlier.
