AC Milan star Rafael Leão has been handed Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic No.7 jersey for Portugal’s upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Denmark and Norway. UEFA verified the adjustment on Portugal’s updated squad list ahead of Thursday night’s encounter in Copenhagen. Leão, who typically sports the No.17 shirt, temporarily shifts to No.7, while newcomer Fábio Silva takes over Leão’s former No.17 number.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The sudden shift comes after Ronaldo departed the national team camp on Wednesday. His exit followed a 2-1 victory over Norway on Sunday—where he remained on the bench as an unused substitute—and a previous start in a 1-0 win against Wales. Addressing his sudden departure on social media, the 41-year-old forward stated that he would eventually disclose “the truth about the reasons that motivated me to leave.”

Reports indicate that Ronaldo’s exit stemmed from a heated dispute with head coach Jorge Jesus, alongside discussions with Portuguese Football Federation president Pedro Proença. Consequently, Ronaldo may face potential sanctions under federation regulations, which dictate that unexcused departures from national team duties can incur a suspension ranging from one to six months, as well as fines between €500 and €1,000.

Defending his tactics, Jorge Jesus maintained full authority over team selection, noting that he informed the player he would be benched and stating firmly that no player, president, or individual in football will ever alter his decisions.

Topping Group A4 following wins against Wales and Norway, Portugal prepares to play Denmark in Copenhagen on Thursday before welcoming Norway to the Estádio do Dragão on Sunday.
