Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly been suspended by the Portuguese Football Federation following an alleged walkout from the national team camp amid a fallout with manager Jorge Jesus.
According to the statement, the suspension was triggered automatically under the federation’s disciplinary rules, with a disciplinary council expected to determine the length of the ban.
The 39-year-old forward could face a suspension ranging from one to six months, depending on the outcome of the disciplinary proceedings.
Despite the reported development, Ronaldo has publicly apologised for his actions and acknowledged that he deserved to face punishment.
The incident has raised questions about the implications of the reported disagreement for the Portugal captain’s international commitments, although the final disciplinary decision is yet to be determined.
