Ronaldo handed 30-day suspension after walking out on Portugal
The former Man Utd and Real Madrid star abruptly left the Nations League camp before accusing coach Jorge Jesus of breaking his promise of game time.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been given a 30-day suspension by Portugal's football federation for leaving the national team camp during the Uefa Nations League. The 41-year-old former Manchester United and Real Madrid star abruptly left the team on September 30 after a dispute with coach Jorge Jesus. Ronaldo had to be made to warm up as a substitute against Norway on September 27 and was then informed he would not start against Denmark in the match on October 1.
The federation's disciplinary committee took into account Ronaldo's remorse expressed in a statement on October 6 and his willingness to accept any punishment. As Portugal won all four of their Nations League matches in Ronaldo's absence, the star striker will complete his suspension by the end of October and won't miss their final two group matches against Denmark and Wales in November.
