Cristiano Ronaldo is suspended by Portugal’s football federation after leaving the national team camp without permission, sources report. Multiple outlets say the ban is linked to an incident last month involving his fallout with head coach Jorge Jesus, following which Ronaldo leaves the camp. Federation rules are described as automatically triggering the disciplinary process, pending further review.

Reports add that Ronaldo publicly apologises and is said to have acknowledged he deserved punishment. The case now moves to a disciplinary council, which determines how long the suspension lasts. Outlets converge on the potential length of the ban, with one to six months cited, and note that this could affect Portugal fixtures scheduled for November. One outlet also points to a possible rule that could reduce or influence the final outcome, though details are not consistent across reports.
