Disciplinary council upholds charge against 41-year-old

Portuguese FA president has left door open for return
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. 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).
Ronaldo left 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. Jesus denied making any agreement with Ronaldo but left the door open for his return after Portugal’s 2-1 win.
