Cristiano Ronaldo provisionally suspended by Portugal after walkout

Cristiano Ronaldo has been provisionally suspended after the Portuguese Football Federation announced it had opened disciplinary proceedings against the 41-year-old

Ronaldo apologised to supporters earlier this week while criticising Portugal coach Jorge Jesus and said he would accept any punishment that was imposed.

"Disciplinary proceedings have been initiated against Cristiano Ronaldo," said the FPF in a statement, classifying the case as "urgent" and confirming Ronaldo is currently suspended pending a decision on the final punishment.

Ronaldo left Portugal's Nations League squad after first being made to warm up as a substitute against Norway on September 27 and not brought on, and then finding out he would not start against Denmark in the match on October 1.

The former Real Madrid and Manchester United attacker is the all-time top goalscorer and record appearance-maker in men's international football.
