The Portuguese Football Federation announced that a disciplinary investigation has been opened into Cristiano Ronaldo and that the player has been temporarily suspended from the squad.
The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) has announced that a disciplinary investigation has been launched into world-famous star Cristiano Ronaldo, who left the national team camp without permission, and that the experienced forward has been temporarily removed from the squad.
HE LEFT THE NATIONAL TEAM CAMP WITHOUT PERMISSION
The incidents began during the match in which Portugal beat Norway 2-1. Ronaldo, who sat on the bench in the match, stated that head coach Jorge Jesus had promised him before the match that he would enter the game, but although he was sent to warm up, he did not get any playing time. The 41-year-old footballer, arguing that the second promise that a statement would be made to the press about the process was also not kept, felt that he was not taken seriously and caused a crisis. The star player decided to leave the national team camp before the Denmark match.
HE ADMITTED HIS FAULT AND ACCEPTED THE PUNISHMENT
After the incident, Ronaldo made a comprehensive statement and apologized to his teammates and fans. Emphasizing that his decision to leave the camp could not go unpunished, the 41-year-old star accepted the punishment that would come to him.
HE WAS LEFT OUT OF THE SQUAD
The Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation has taken the investigation file regarding the incidents that occurred on October 7 under review with "urgent" status. The federation announced that the star footballer has been left out of the squad until the final decision is announced.
