According to multiple Portuguese mainstream media reports, the Portuguese Football Association announced that because Ronaldo was red-blooded in the game against Ireland, he has been determined to miss the next round of World Cup preliminaries against Armenia, so he has been allowed to leave the national team training camp.

Portuguese media "Global News" also stated that since the next game is related to the team's qualification for the World Cup, the Portuguese Football Association hopes that he can come to the scene to watch the game.

Portugal lost 0-2 to Ireland. Cristiano Ronaldo elbowed his opponent and was sent off for the first time in his national team career.

Portugal currently leads the World Cup qualifying group standings with 10 points. In the final round of the home match against Armenia, which is at the bottom, Portugal only needs to win to secure qualification for the World Cup. If Hungary fails to win, Portugal can ensure direct advancement even with a draw.
