Ronaldo leaves squad ahead of Denmark clash

Ronaldo left the training facility after a dispute with head coach Jorge Jesus regarding playing time. He had previously agreed to miss matches against Norway and Denmark to manage his fitness but was not selected for the Norway game. The 41-year-old subsequently apologized to teammates and supporters while calling for punishment for his actions.

Federation opens urgent disciplinary case

The federation confirmed on Saturday that proceedings were initiated against Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro under the Non-Professional Section. The case was designated as urgent, with an automatic provisional suspension applied before a further decision is made. Details of the investigation remain confidential until the process concludes.

Player accepts potential punishment

Ronaldo stated he would accept whatever penalty the federation imposes and insisted he still wants to play for Portugal. He claimed the coach broke a promise about his minutes in the Nations League matches. The former Real Madrid and Manchester United attacker remains available once any suspension is served.
