RONALDO PUNISHED: Portuguese FA Suspends Star 30 Days, Fines £215...

Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal's all-time leading goal scorer with 146 goals across 234 appearances, walked out of the national team's training camp in September after being benched for matches against Norway and Denmark. The 41-year-old Al-Nassr forward claimed coach Jorge Jesus had broken agreements about his playing time, prompting the Portuguese Football Federation to suspend him for 30 days and fine him €255. Though the suspension's exact scope remains unclear, backdating it to October 9 could allow Ronaldo to return for Portugal's November 14 match against Denmark, with federation leadership signaling they want him back once the dispute resolves.
