Hamstring injury keeps Cristiano Ronaldo out of Portugal friendlies against US
and Mexico
LISBON, Portugal (AP) --- A hamstring injury will keep Cristiano Ronaldo out of
Portugal's friendlies against the United States and Mexico ahead of the World
Cup in North America.
The 41-year-old Ronaldo hasn't played since February 28 when he limped off the
field while his Al-Nassr team beat Al-Fayha 3-1 in a Saudi Pro League match.
As expected, Portugal coach Roberto Martnez did not include the five-time
Ballon d'Or winner in the squad he announced on Friday.
Portugal plays Mexico in Mexico City on March 28 before facing the United
States in Atlanta on April 1.
Ronaldo holds the record for the most goals in men's international soccer after
scoring 143 times for Portugal.
The World Cup starts in June.
Squad:
Goalkeepers: Diogo Costa (FC Porto), Jos S (Wolverhampton), Rui Silva
(Sporting Lisbon).
Defenders: Matheus Nunes (Manchester City), Diogo Dalot (Manchester United),
Joao Cancelo (Barcelona), Nuno Mendes (Paris Saint-Germain), Gonalo Incio
(Sporting Lisbon), Renato Veiga (Villarreal), Antnio Silva (Benfica), Toms
Arajo (Benfica).
Midfielders: Rben Neves (Al-Hilal), Sam Costa (Mallorca), Mateus Fernandes
(West Ham), Joao Neves (Paris Saint-Germain), Vitinha (Paris Saint-Germain),
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), Rodrigo Mora (FC Porto);
Forwards: Ricardo Horta (Braga), Pedro Gonalves (Sporting Lisbon), Joao Flix
(Al- Nassr), Francisco Trincao (Sporting Lisbon), Francisco Conceiao
(Juventus), Rafael Leao (AC Milan), Pedro Neto (Chelsea), Gonalo Guedes (Real
