"There are no physical problems. It is normal management,” he said. "It wouldn't make sense to have 26 players travelling if we can only play 23. It fell to these players to miss out, that's all."
Ronaldo previously said he wishes to play into his 40s and knows to do so, he may have to rest more frequently. He played 39 times in his homecoming season at United, which is the fewest number of club games he has featured in since the 2009/10 campaign.
