The story
Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for 30 days by the Portuguese FA after leaving the national team camp following a rift with the coach, Jorge Jesus, over his role in the side (theguardian. com). The federation's disciplinary council said it had upheld the charge against the 41-year-old forward in full and imposed a fine of €255 (£215) (theguardian. com). The case stems from Ronaldo leaving Portugal's base in Copenhagen before their Nations League match against Denmark earlier this month, having accused Jesus of twice breaking his word about his role after he was an unused substitute against Norway (theguardian. com). Jesus denied making any such agreement (theguardian. com). [1]
The context
The sanction follows a dispute that played out publicly around team selection. According to the report, Ronaldo left Portugal's base in Copenhagen before the Nations League fixture against Denmark earlier this month (theguardian. com). He had accused Jesus of twice breaking his word about his role in the side after he was an unused substitute against Norway (theguardian. com). Jesus denied making any such agreement (theguardian. com). The disciplinary council's decision upheld the charge in full rather than in part, and paired the 30-day suspension with a €255 (£215) fine (theguardian. com). [1]
Timeline and key facts
The events described in the report run in sequence: Ronaldo was an unused substitute against Norway, then left Portugal's base in Copenhagen before the Nations League match against Denmark earlier this month, having accused Jesus of twice breaking his word about his role (theguardian. com). Jesus denied making any such agreement (theguardian. com). The Portuguese FA's disciplinary council then upheld the charge against the 41-year-old forward in full, imposing a 30-day suspension and a €255 (£215) fine (theguardian. com). The report states it is unclear whether time already served under a provisional suspension will count towards the 30-day sanction (theguardian. com).
