Cristiano Ronaldo suspended by Portuguese FA for leaving training camp

The Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation has opened disciplinary proceedings against Cristiano Ronaldo for walking out of the national team’s training camp in Copenhagen, Denmark.Before the match against Denmark, the captain clashed with coach Jorge Jesus (JJ) after being left on the bench and not brought on in the previous game against Norway, despite what he had been promised. According to Ronaldo, Jorge Jesus had assured him he would play for 30 minutes.Feeling that JJ had gone back on his word, Cristiano Ronaldo walked out on the national team on 30 September, posting a message on his Instagram account announcing his decision and promising that, “in due course”, he would tell “the truth to all Portuguese people” about the reasons behind his sudden departure.Until the captain made that public statement, the football world struggled to ignore the controversy that had erupted within the squad.
