Cristiano Ronaldo has been left out of Portugal's squad for the impending international break after holding talks with manager Fernando Santos.
According to Portuguese newspaper Record (h/t ESPN's Adriana Garcia), the pair have agreed with Portuguese federation president Fernando Gomes that Ronaldo will not feature in the games this month against Poland and Scotland or "through November," so he may not appear for his national team again this year.
On Monday, it was announced that a 2009 investigation into a rape allegation made against Ronaldo was reopened by Las Vegas Police, although Garcia reported it is unclear if his absence from the Portugal team is related.
