The 63-year-old said;
"I have to believe my medical department. My doctor came to see me on Friday morning before training and told me Cristiano Ronaldo cannot train because of some problems with his hip flexor and the same was true on Saturday and that's why he couldn't be part of the squad.
It's just a fact, if players tell the doctor and the medical department that they are injured and cannot play. I have to accept it as a manager.
I cannot force a player to play if he thinks he's not available because he has an injury.ÔÇØ
