Story summary

On Wednesday, Cristiano Ronaldo abruptly left the Portugal national team's training camp in Copenhagen ahead of their UEFA Nations League match against Denmark. In an Instagram statement, Ronaldo said he decided to leave after discussing his situation with Jorge Jesus, the coach, and Pedro Proenca, the President of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF). The FPF’s disciplinary code could see him face a ban from one to six months if found to have unjustifiably abandoned training or matches. Despite Ronaldo's absence, Portugal won against Denmark 4-2 on Thursday without their star player. Coach Jesus later stated he would welcome Ronaldo back should the player wish to return for future games.
