Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo has informed FIFA he will not be attending Monday's The Best award gala in London due to the busy Bianconeri playing schedule.
The Italian champions beat Frosinone 2-0 on Sunday night and will be in action again on Wednesday against Bologna before a clash with Napoli at the weekend. Per Marca's Jose Felix Diaz, Ronaldo decided to warn event organisers, something he didn't for UEFA's event earlier this season.
The former Real Madrid man is one of three finalists for the main award, alongside former team-mate Luka Modric and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.
