Ronaldo provisionally suspended after national team walkout, say media reports
Cristiano Ronaldo left the squad’s base in Copenhagen last week following a rift with head coach Jorge Jesus, ahead of Portugal’s Nations League match against Denmark.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been provisionally suspended by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) following a national team walkout, according to media reports. The 41-year-old football star accused head coach Jorge Jesus of breaking his word twice about his role in the team. Ronaldo's departure from the squad's base in Copenhagen came before Portugal's Nations League match against Denmark last week.
The FPF confirmed that disciplinary proceedings had been opened against the star striker. Ronaldo later apologized for not acknowledging supporters after the Norway game and for leaving his teammates behind. He stated that he would remain available for selection after serving any punishment resulting from the incident.
