Ronaldo Could Face Portugal Ban After Reported Training-Camp Walkout

Cristiano Ronaldo could face disciplinary action after reportedly leaving Portugal’s training camp following a disagreement with head coach Jorge Jesus. The 41-year-old forward was said to have been unhappy after starting on the bench and later missing a training session. Attempts by coach Jesus and Portuguese Football Federation president Pedro Proença to speak with him before his departure reportedly failed. Under the federation’s disciplinary rules, a player who misses national-team activities without justification can be suspended for between one and six months and fined. Ronaldo, Portugal’s record appearance-maker and goalscorer, could therefore be unavailable for future international matches if the case proceeds.
