Ronaldo rested for Portugal friendlies

Cristiano Ronaldo has been left out of the Portugal squad for the friendly matches with Saudi Arabia and the United States.

Wolves' Ruben Neves, and Euro 2016 hero Eder are also included.

"We have a group of players we've called up to analyse," Santos told a news conference on Friday.

"These games are good for facing football from other continents, which we're not used to playing against.

"The squad is never closed. We have a wide range of options."
