On September 30th local time, manager Jorge Jesus stated at a pre-match press conference that Cristiano Ronaldo would participate in training that day. However, Cristiano Ronaldo subsequently left the stadium and did not join team training. He later confirmed via social media that he had left the current training camp and would explain his reasons for departing at an appropriate time.

At the pre-match press conference before the Denmark game, Jesus stated that he had previously planned playing time for Cristiano Ronaldo and decided to give him rest after the Wales match ahead of the upcoming matches against Norway and Denmark. During the Norway match, Jesus considered bringing Cristiano Ronaldo on late and instructed him to warm up, but ultimately changed his decision based on match circumstances.

Jesus said the following: "I told Cristiano Ronaldo he would not play in the Norway and Denmark matches. The reason I believe this is... I worked with Cristiano Ronaldo for a year. Right? I didn't just join the Portugal squad three months ago and meet him. I worked with him for a year. I completely understand his physical condition and how to manage him. That's because I did this in Saudi Arabia. When there's a match every three days, Cristiano Ronaldo rarely plays consecutive matches. Furthermore, Cristiano Ronaldo absolutely never trains on the first and second days after a match. Never. During the year he worked with me, it was always like that.

Speaking of Cristiano Ronaldo, I also told you I worked with him for a year. Now it may seem like there's an issue between us, but there isn't. I've had issues with many players, so don't turn a non-existent problem into controversy. This was a managerial decision, a plan I had made in advance.

He didn't refuse to train. Felix also didn't train yesterday, and neither did Francisco Conceição. Conceição is due to injury. Felix didn't train after these two matches due to fatigue, and we wanted to reduce his training load. We'll have to see what happens tomorrow.

Cristiano Ronaldo trained in the gym and did some light work on the pitch, then returned to the hotel for strength training. That's the situation. He didn't refuse to train. He will train today, and if you go watch, you'll see him. Today is already the fourth day, so he will train today.

He didn't refuse to train, and such a thing cannot happen."

The same day, in an interview with Portuguese media Canal 11, Jesus said he had warmed up Cristiano Ronaldo longer than necessary, which upset him, but his intention was always for the team and Cristiano Ronaldo himself.

When asked if this frustration would be resolved, Jesus said: "For me, it's resolved. For him, I don't know. I think he'll calm down too, but I don't know."

However, after the press conference, Cristiano Ronaldo did not join the team for group training. Instead, he left Parken Stadium in a Portuguese Football Federation vehicle accompanied by federation staff.

Late that day, the Portuguese Football Federation released a brief statement confirming that João Félix had returned to team training, while Francisco Conceição and Cristiano Ronaldo did not participate. The statement noted that Conceição would be unavailable for the Denmark match the following day. The statement did not explain the reason for Cristiano Ronaldo's absence from training.

Afterward, Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed via social media that he had decided to leave the Portugal national team's current training camp following Jesus's pre-match press conference and his conversation with the Portuguese Football Federation president. Regarding his reasons for departing, Cristiano Ronaldo stated: "When the right moment comes, I will explain to all Portuguese people the true reasons for leaving the Portugal national team."

In the same post, Cristiano Ronaldo emphasized that he has always been fully committed to the Portugal national team and wishes to do his best for the team and all teammates, without exception. He did not provide further specific details about his departure in that post.
