Ronaldo to skip ICC, but Barca bring Messi, Suarez & Neymar

Stateside fans could get the chance to see Barcelona's 'MSN' strikeforce in action, but the Portuguese star will play no part in the ICC

Cristiano Ronaldo will play no part in the International Champions Cup, but fans in the United States are set to see Barcelona trio Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar.

Real Madrid named their 26-man squad for the USA tour on Tuesday and four-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo was a notable and expected absentee.

Ronaldo, 32, featured at the Confederations Cup in Russia, though he left the tournament before Portugal's third-place play-off match to be with his newborn twins, having helped Madrid to La Liga and Champions League glory.
