Cristiano Ronaldo has been slapped with a suspension by the Portuguese FA for his angry walkout. The veteran forward decided to leave the national team camp following a row with boss Jorge Jesus.

Axar.az reports, citing The Mirror, that their argument seemingly revolved around the amount of minutes Ronaldo played during the international break. Despite having apologised in a lengthy statement, in which he suggested that he should be punished by the Portuguese FA, it appears that Ronaldo has already met the consequences.

Portuguese Football Federation rules have automatically triggered a suspension and a disciplinary council will now decide on the length of ban that Ronaldo will have to serve, which could be anything between one and six months.

Anything longer than a month would see Ronaldo ruled out of his nation’s Nations League fixtures against Denmark and Wales next month. The disciplinary council will now consider all aspects including Ronaldo’s apology when assessing a potential ban, albeit ESPN have suggested that a shorter ban is more likely.
