Cristiano Ronaldo has been handed a 30-day suspension by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) after walking out of the national team camp following a dispute with coach Jorge Jesus over his playing time.
The 41-year-old forward has also been fined 255 euros ($286), with the federation imposing the minimum suspension prescribed under its regulations for leaving the national team without authorisation.
Ronaldo left Portugal’s camp on September 30 after being an unused substitute against Norway on September 27, despite warming up during the match. He then learnt he would not start against Denmark on October 1.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner had accused Jesus of going back on his word about giving him game time. He later apologised to supporters and said he would accept any punishment.
