Ronaldo suspended for 30 days and fined for walking out on Portugal camp

Cristiano Ronaldo has been handed a 30-day suspension and a 255 euros fine by the Portuguese Football Federation for walking out of the national team camp. The federation deemed the punishment "adequate and sufficient." Ronaldo formally admitted to the charges in a statement submitted on Friday, and his clean disciplinary record helped reduce the severity of the penalty.

The fine represents the maximum allowable under the federation's rules. Ronaldo can appeal the suspension, but he has already apologized and expects the punishment. He did not publicly react to the news. Ronaldo played in Portugal's opening Nations League win over Wales and as a substitute in a win against Norway on September 27, but he was substituted and did not play in the subsequent matches against Denmark and Norway, which secured Portugal's quarterfinal spot.

The suspension began on October 1, the day of the Denmark game, meaning Ronaldo has served 19 days of the 30-day ban and is expected to be available for Portugal's next match against Denmark on November 14.
