Portuguese football authorities have handed a 30-day suspension to Cristiano Ronaldo and imposed a fine of €255 after he abruptly left the national team's base in Copenhagen prior to a UEFA Nations League match against Denmark. The disciplinary council of the Portuguese Football Federation upheld the charge against the 41-year-old forward, finding that he intentionally committed an offense under Article 160(1) of the federation's disciplinary regulations.
Ronaldo's suspension has already run for 19 days, meaning he will not miss any Portugal matches as the next international window begins on November 12. Ronaldo, who earns a reported €4 million per week at Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, has apologized for failing to acknowledge supporters after the Norway match and for leaving his teammates.
Despite his suspension, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner remains available for selection for future games, and Portugal faces Denmark again on November 14 before traveling to Wales.
