(4 Oct 2018) Fans of Cristiano Ronaldo waited eagerly outside the Juventus training center on Thursday morning to catch sight of the Portuguese footballer as he left the premises. Ronaldo has been accused of rape by Kathryn Mayorga, who says the player assaulted her in Las Vegas in 2009. He has denied the accusation. Ronaldo was left off the squad for Portugal's second game in the UEFA Nations League at Poland on Oct. 11 and a friendly match in Glasgow against Scotland three days later. Portugal coach Fernando Santos said Ronaldo also will not be called up for the next round of international games in November. Ronaldo, who is nearing the end of his playing career, is a national hero in Portugal and the country's best-known celebrity. He is the country's most experienced player with 154 national team appearances, and its all-time highest scorer with 85 goals.
