A Cristiano Ronaldo crisis is unfolding in the Portugal national team. The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) has announced that a disciplinary investigation has been launched into the 41-year-old footballer, who is reported to have left the national team camp without permission.
According to the federation's decision, Ronaldo will be temporarily dropped from the squad until a final decision is reached in the disciplinary process. It was reported that the file is being handled by the FPF Disciplinary Committee with "urgent" status.
It was reported that the crisis escalated following Portugal's 2-1 victory over Norway. It is stated that Ronaldo, who remained on the bench during the match, argued that head coach Jorge Jesus had promised him playing time, but he was not given any minutes despite being sent to warm up.
It was also expressed that Ronaldo felt he was not taken seriously, believing that a promise to make a statement to the press after the match was not kept. Following these developments, the experienced player left the national team camp ahead of the Denmark match.
It was noted that after the events, Ronaldo apologized to his teammates and fans, acknowledging that his decision to leave the camp could have consequences. The decision to be made by the FPF at the end of the investigation is awaited.
