Ronaldo Faces Suspension for Leaving Camp
9 Oct
Summary
- Ronaldo left the national camp due to coach disagreements.
- A suspension of 15 days is potentially possible.
- Ronaldo admitted to his actions, potentially reducing his sanction.
Cristiano Ronaldo has created significant controversy by departing the Portuguese national team camp on September 30 following disagreements with coach Jorge Jesus. He is reportedly ready to accept a suspension, but an unexpected development suggests this penalty might be reduced to just 15 days. This potential reduction could make him available for the upcoming international break.
Ronaldo issued a statement expressing regret to his teammates and supporters, and he has requested punishment. According to disciplinary rules, he faces both a ban and a fine. Legal expert Gonçalo Almeida explained that the suspension began upon Ronaldo's departure. However, Ronaldo's admission of his actions, as per Article 244 of the disciplinary rules, could lead to a halving of the minimum sanctions.
This admission means the minimum one-month suspension and 510 euro fine could be reduced to 15 days and 255 euros, respectively. If this occurs, Ronaldo could potentially play for Portugal during the next international break, facing Denmark and Wales. His availability, however, will depend on whether the issue with Coach Jesus is resolved by then.
