Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo has been forced out of his side's Nations League match against Croatia with a toe infection that his manager Fernando Santos has likened to a bee sting.
Ronaldo missed multiple days of training leading up to Saturday's match at Estadio do Dragao in Lisbon, which marks the Nations League opener for both teams.
Speaking at a news conference, Santos said the 35-year-old noticed the problem at Wednesday's training session.
