Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for 30 days and fined 255 euros (£215) by the Portuguese Football Federation after walking out on the national team earlier this month.

Ronaldo had already been provisionally suspended after leaving the camp shortly before a Nations League game against Denmark following a row with head coach Jorge Jesus.

If the suspension is backdated to the time of the provisional ruling, he will be available to play in his country’s next match against Denmark again on November 14.

The 41-year-old issued a 2,000-word statement in which he accused Jesus of a “breach of trust” over his role as an unused substitute in the 2-1 win in Oslo.

Ronaldo missed the game against Denmark and another match against Norway, both of which Portugal won to leave them top of Group A4 with a perfect record from four matches.

After the second win over Norway, Jesus insisted the door remained open for Ronaldo, who subsequently apologised for his actions and admitted he deserved to be sanctioned.

The Portuguese federation’s disciplinary council announced Ronaldo’s punishment in a 28-page document on Monday evening, saying it was “adequate and sufficient” for the player’s “serious infraction”.
