Ronaldo Misses Training Ahead Of South Korea Match: Prior to Portugal’s World Cup match against South Korea in Group H in Qatar, Cristiano Ronaldo did not participate in practice.
According to Marca, the former Manchester United player was working on a personal strategy. The 37-year-old converted a penalty in his team’s 3-2 victory over Ghana to become the first player to score at five World Cups.
Prior to their Group H match against South Korea, Portugal did not include Cristiano Ronaldo in their pregame practice.
According to Marca, the 37-year-old worked on a personal plan.
The side of Fernando Santos has already advanced to the round of 16, but in order to win the group against South Korea, they still need a point.

Ronaldo might rest even if it is not believed that he will miss that game.
Otavio, Danilo Pereira, and Nuno Mendes won’t be playing in Friday’s game at Education City Stadium, though.
Portugal will be rewarded if they get the desired point with a matchup against the Group G runner-up, currently Switzerland, on December 6 at the Lusail Iconic Stadium.
Ronaldo, a former player for Manchester United, has been linked recently with a move to the Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr, but he won’t decide on his future until after Portugal’s World Cup campaign is over.
But the 37-year-old is alleged to have consented to a 2.5-year deal worth £172.9 million annually, claims Spanish newspaper Marca.
It is claimed that Al Nassr offered significantly more than any European or Major League Soccer club could have. Al Nassr has won the Saudi Pro League nine times, but not since 2019.
At 15:00 UK time on December 2, Portugal will take on South Korea.
