Portugal winger Raphael Leao has been handed Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic No. 7 shirt for the national team’s upcoming fixtures.
The change was confirmed in an updated squad list ahead of Portugal’s Nations League meeting with Denmark in Copenhagen on Thursday.
Ronaldo departed the national team camp on Wednesday amid reports of tensions with head coach Jorge Jesus.
The 41-year-old later addressed the situation on social media, saying he would eventually disclose “the truth about the reasons that motivated me to leave.”
Portugal currently lead Group 4 of the Nations League after opening their campaign with victories over Wales and Norway.
