Ronaldo suspended for 30 days fined £215 over Portugal walkout

Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for 30 days and fined £215 over his walkout from the Portugal national team. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner unexpectedly left a training camp in Copenhagen last month on the eve of a Nations League fixture against Denmark after being left as an unused substitute in the game prior. Ronaldo had fallen out with Portugal's new head coach Jorge Jesus, who he later accused of breaking his word about the captain's role in the team. Jesus denied making any such agreement. The 41-year-old had asked to be punished by the Portuguese FA when he posted a lengthy letter detailing the circumstances which led to his departure from the national team. Ronaldo said he wanted to be spared any leniency.Portugal's next match is against Denmark in the Nations League on November 14. More to follow...
