Real Madrid Legend Cristiano Ronaldo Could Face Six Month Suspension

Ronaldo departed after being left out of the lineup and warming up for 30 minutes, while Portugal said 24 players remain in camp.

  • On Wednesday, Cristiano Ronaldo, the national team captain, left Portugal's training camp ahead of the Nations League match against Denmark in Copenhagen.
  • Manager Jorge Jesus acknowledged the 41-year-old's disappointment after Ronaldo remained an unused substitute during Sunday's 2-1 win over Norway, though he initially denied any rift.
  • The Portuguese Football Federation confirmed preparations continue with 24 remaining squad members. Ronaldo's sister, Elma, criticized the team on Instagram, claiming Portugal does not "deserve to have the best at anything."
  • Following his exit, Ronaldo confirmed on Instagram that he departed after a conversation with Federation president Pedro Proen. He has since returned to Madrid and will miss upcoming matches against Denmark and Norway.
