Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo 'unlikely' to feature in Olympics

Portugal's Olympic coach Rui Jorge concedes that Real Madrid attacker Cristiano Ronaldo is 'unlikely' to feature in the Olympic Games in Rio.

Portugal's Olympic coach Rui Jorge has admitted that Cristiano Ronaldo is 'unlikely' to feature in the Games in Rio.

The Real Madrid attacker would be eligible to represent his country as one of their three over-aged players and it had been claimed that the 31-year-old would take part in the showpiece event later this year.

Jorge, however, has poured cold water on those suggestions due to Ronaldo's involvement in Euro 2016.

"We do not yet know exactly about the three players over 23, we will wait, but I don't believe Cristiano Ronaldo will be there," Jorge told Lance. "We are not thinking about that. Of course he is one of the two best players in the world. Any club or country could use his contribution."

Ronaldo has scored 56 goals in 125 appearances for his national team.
