Cristiano Ronaldo is on a fitness programme designed to have him back in time for Real Madrid’s game against Atletico Madrid.
The first Madrid derby of the season takes places on September 13, after the international break, and Ronaldo has been left out of the Portugal squad.
He will also miss tonight’s game against Real Sociedad and AS reports it is the meeting with the champions that has been prioritised.
AS add that on Thursday Ronaldo met with medical staff from the Portugal national team and they advised the forward to take a break and let his injuries heal.
It’s believed Ronaldo’s problems date back to April, when he injured his knee against Borussia Dortmund.
Ronaldo is alleged to have lost faith in the Madrid medical team from their handling of that injury and has since worked with his own physio, as well as the Portugal doctor.
