Portugal starts World Cup qualifying without injured Ronaldo (The Associated Press)
Cristiano Ronaldo will sit out Portugal's first games since it won the European Championship as he continues his recovery from a knee injury sustained in that tournament's final. The Portugal captain hasn't yet played this season for his club Real Madrid, and wasn't called up on Friday for Portugal friendly against Gibraltar on Sept. 1, and first World Cup qualifier against Switzerland five days later. Making up for his absence in Portugal's attack will be Eder, who scored the winning goal against France in the Euro 2016 final.
