Press reports said that the Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo, has not trained for days and will miss his country's national team match today, Saturday, against Croatia, due to a "bee sting."
The site "Italian Football" (Football Italia) said that the injury of the goalscorer of Juventus to the right foot resulted from a bee sting that made the toe swollen and reddened from the severity of infections.
The coach of the Portuguese national team, Fernando Santos, confirmed that the 35-year-old Ronaldo was training well and his fitness was complete, and suddenly, one of his toes appeared last Wednesday, as if he had been stung by a bee.
"Now we have to wait, we don't know how long it will take to recover from this injury," Santos said.
