Ronaldo suspended by Portugal after walkout from camp

Summarised from Mirror Sport's report · Updated 9 Oct, 18:07 · Archive

Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended by the Portuguese FA following his departure from the national team camp.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended by the Portuguese Football Federation after leaving the national team camp during the international break. The walkout followed a dispute with manager Jorge Jesus over the amount of playing time Ronaldo received. Portuguese Football Federation rules automatically triggered the suspension, and a disciplinary council will now decide the length of the ban, which could be anywhere between one and six months.

A ban longer than a month would exclude Ronaldo from Portugal's Nations League fixtures against Denmark and Wales next month. ESPN suggests a shorter ban is more likely. Ronaldo issued a statement apologising for his actions, acknowledging that he should not have left the camp and accepting responsibility for his conduct. He said the breaking of trust had a defining impact on him and that he departed because he felt his remaining would only harm the team.
