Cristiano Ronaldo suspension: Portugal issues weak punishment to CR7 for national team walkout

Key points

• The Portuguese football federation has suspended captain Cristiano Ronaldo for 30 days after he left national team camp before a Nations League match against Denmark. Ronaldo also received a fine of 255 euros.
• The suspension is backdated to October 9, the end of the last international break. Portugal does not play again until November 14, so Ronaldo is expected to be available for that match, according to a report by A Bola.
• Ronaldo had earlier apologised in a statement and said he would accept punishment as captain.
