Cristiano Ronaldo has received a 30-day ban and been ordered to pay €255 (£215) by the Portuguese Football Federation following his departure from the national squad during September's international break.

The sanctions were imposed after the 41-year-old left the team camp midway through fixtures following a dispute with head coach Jorge Jesus.

The financial penalty amounts to an insignificant sum for the Al-Nassr forward, who earns £488,000 daily in Saudi Arabia. The £215 fine represents just 38 seconds of his wages.

Crucially, the suspension has been backdated to September 30, meaning the Portugal captain will be eligible for selection when his country faces Denmark and Wales in November's Nations League fixtures.
