(CNN) Cristiano Ronaldo has been left out of Portugal's squad for upcoming friendlies against Poland and Scotland.

Portugal faces Poland on October 11 and Scotland three days later, but will be without its most-capped player, who has been accused of raping Kathryn Mayorga in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009.

Ronaldo released a statement on Wednesday denying the charges , which allege that the Juventus star raped Mayorga while she repeatedly screamed no, according to a lawsuit filed in Clark County, Nevada, last week.
