Portugal sanctions Cristiano Ronaldo: one-month suspension and €255 fine

Portugal's football federation suspended Ronaldo for one month starting September 30 and fined him €255 for leaving the national team camp during Nations League fixtures.

Portugal's disciplinary commission has suspended Cristiano Ronaldo for 30 days and fined him €255 for abandoning the national team's training camp on September 30. The suspension was triggered after Ronaldo left the squad in Denmark when he learned manager Jorge Jesus would exclude him from the starting lineup. Since the ban begins from the date of his departure, Ronaldo will be eligible for selection for November's Nations League matches, with the final decision on his recall resting with Jesus.
