Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo faces a potential suspension from representing his national team after departing the training camp without permission, according to British outlet The Mirror. Regulations of the Portuguese Football Federation stipulate that unauthorized departure can result in a ban ranging from one to six matches, alongside a financial fine between 500 and 1000 euros. This development unfolded after the player remained on the substitutes' bench throughout the Nations League clash against Norway, which prompted him to leave the camp and sparked controversy regarding his status and relationship with the coaching staff. Coach Jorge Jesus clarified that he was under no obligation to field Ronaldo despite the player requesting to warm up, emphasizing that participation remains purely a tactical decision. Concurrently, a poll conducted by Portuguese website A Bola revealed that over 70% of respondents opposed the veteran forward's return to the national team.
