    The 41-year-old ‌left the squad's base in Copenhagen before Portugal's Nations League match against Denmark last week, after a rift with head coach Jorge Jesus. Ronaldo, an unused substitute against Norway, accused ​Jesus of twice breaking his word regarding his role in the ​team.

    After Portugal's 2-1 win, Jesus denied he had made any ⁠agreement with the player but left the door open for his return. According ​to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, the FPF confirmed that disciplinary proceedings had ​been opened against Ronaldo.

    "Without prejudice to the automatic preventive suspension to which he was subject until the date of initiation, a non-automatic preventive suspension of the player was determined, and ​the proceedings were given urgent status," the federation was quoted as ​saying.

    "This includes the federation, the FPF president, the national team coach, the ​captain and the players. "Regarding Ronaldo's disciplinary process, Proenca added: "That ​will depend ⁠solely on the Disciplinary Committee, which is an autonomous body, and it will do its job.

    "Ronaldo apologised on Tuesday for failing to acknowledge supporters after ⁠the ​Norway game and for leaving his teammates, adding ​that he would remain available for selection after serving any punishment arising from the incident.
