The legendary 39-year-old Portuguese forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently represents Saudi club Al Nassr, will not play in the first friendly match for the Portuguese national team in March, despite being included in the squad.

On Thursday, March 21, the Portuguese will face the national team of Sweden in Guimaraes. The match is scheduled to start at 20:45 Central European Time.
