Ronaldo given 30-day suspension and £215 fine by Portuguese FA

القصص

Cristiano Ronaldo is given a 30-day suspension by the Portuguese Football Federation after leaving his country's international camp last month.

The 41-year-old captain walked out of Portugal's Nations League squad in September after being an unused substitute against Norway and then finding out he would not start against Denmark.

Ronaldo said in a lengthy statement he had left because Portugal coach Jorge Jesus twice "broke his word", accusing him of an "absolute breach of trust".

It is not clear which matches or activities the suspension would cover, or whether time already served under a provisional suspension would count towards the 30-day sanction.

The Al-Nassr forward was provisionally suspended on 9 October. If the suspension is backdated to that date, he will be available to play in his country's next match - against Denmark on 14 November.

Portugal boss Jesus denied making any agreement with Ronaldo but has left the door open for his return.
