The 31-year-old forward, who scored the decisive penalty as Real Madrid won their 11th European Cup last weekend, will skip Portugal’s friendly against England at Wembley on Thursday.

Ronaldo is merely recharging his batteries on holiday in Ibiza after a long season and will join up with the squad in plenty of time for their opening fixture against Iceland on June 14 in Saint Etienne.
