Cristiano Ronaldo faces a meeting with Jorge Jesus and the president of the Portuguese Federation, Pedro Proença, before the match that the Portugal National Team will play this Thursday against Denmark. The meeting comes after the forward, at 41 years old, did not play against Norway and carried out individual training apart from the collective session on Tuesday.

Proença advanced his travel to the Portuguese concentration to address the situation before the next Nations League match. Portugal heads into the game with 6 out of 6 possible points and as the group leader.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus, face to face before Denmark

The situation began in the 1-2 victory over Norway. Cristiano Ronaldo was on the bench and did not play a single minute, something that hadn't happened with the national team in a match where he was available since the 2008 Euro Cup, as reported by El Partidazo de COPE.

Jorge Jesus later explained that he had initially planned to use him in the second half. However, the course of the match and Gonçalo Ramos' performance led the coach to stick with his attacking choice.

Ronaldo left the field after the final whistle without joining the rest of the team in greeting the Portuguese fans. The incident drew attention to his new role in the national team after being a starter three days earlier against Wales.

The subsequent session raised doubts. The captain was on the Eleda Stadion pitch before training and briefly spoke with Jesus, but later returned to the hotel.

Pedro Proença intervenes in the Portugal National Team

Pedro Proença adjusted his schedule and moved up his trip to join the Portugal National Team camp. The federation president had planned to attend the under-21 match against Gibraltar in the Azores, but instead, he traveled to Copenhagen.

The meeting with Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus comes just days after the forward publicly stated that he would accept the coach's decisions, even if it meant starting as a substitute.

His statistical weight remains significant. Ronaldo has 234 caps and 146 goals for Portugal, both records for the national team, and recently confirmed his intention to keep competing as long as he believes he can help the team.

Jesus has also reiterated that not using Ronaldo against Norway does not mean he is out of the plans. In fact, after that match, he mentioned the possibility of Ronaldo being one of his top choices to face Denmark.

Denmark, the next decision for Cristiano Ronaldo

The match on October 1st will reveal the role that Jesus now reserves for the captain. Portugal leads its Nations League group with 6 points, while Denmark and Norway have 3 each.

Therefore, the sporting situation of Cristiano Ronaldo will receive an immediate response. After the meeting with Proença and Jesus, the next relevant piece of information will be the lineup against Denmark and whether the forward regains his starting spot or continues in a supporting role within the Portugal National Team.
