European champions Portugal will have to make do without captain Cristiano Ronaldo as they seek the consolation of a third-place finish in Sunday's Confederations Cup play-off against Mexico.

The Real Madrid star was excused from the squad for the game in Moscow following Wednesday's penalty shoot-out defeat to Chile in the semi-finals, returning home to meet his newborn twins.
The 32-year-old, who already has a seven-year-old son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jnr, from a previous relationship, is believed to have fathered the twins with a surrogate mother in the United States.
"We knew he was having family matters at home," Portugal manager Fernando Santos told a news conference on Saturday.
