LISBON, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Cristiano ⁠Ronaldo was suspended for 30 days by the ⁠Portuguese FA on Monday after leaving the national team ‌camp following a rift with coach Jorge Jesus over his role in the side.

The federation's disciplinary council said it had upheld the charge against ​the 41-year-old forward in full and ⁠imposed a fine of ⁠255 euros ($285.83).

Ronaldo left Portugal's base in Copenhagen before their Nations League ⁠match ‌against Denmark earlier this month, having accused Jesus of twice breaking his word about his role ⁠after he was an unused substitute against Norway.

Jesus ​denied making any ‌agreement with Ronaldo but left the door open for ⁠his return ​following Portugal's 2-1 win.

The disciplinary council's non-professional section found Ronaldo had intentionally committed an offence under Article 160(1) of the federation's ⁠disciplinary regulations. Proceedings were opened on ​October 9 over facts reported two days earlier.

The statement did not specify which matches or activities the suspension would cover, or ⁠whether time already served under a provisional suspension would count towards the 30-day sanction.

Ronaldo later apologised for failing to acknowledge supporters after the Norway match and for leaving his teammates, ​saying he remained available for selection ⁠after serving any punishment arising from the incident.

Portuguese FA president ​Pedro Proenca has said everyone within ‌the federation wanted Ronaldo to return ​to the national team once the matter was resolved.

里斯本，10 月 19 日（路透社）——周一，葡萄牙足协对克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多处以 30 天的禁赛处罚，此前他因与主教练豪尔赫·热苏斯在球队中的角色问题上发生分歧而离开了国家队训练营。

该联合会的纪律委员会表示，已完全维持对这位 41 岁前锋的指控，并处以 255 欧元（285.83 美元）的罚款。

本月早些时候，在葡萄牙与丹麦的欧国联比赛之前，C罗离开了葡萄牙在哥本哈根的基地。此前，他指责热苏斯两次违背诺言，没有在对阵挪威的比赛中获得出场机会。

在葡萄牙2-1战胜对手后，热苏斯否认与罗纳尔多达成任何协议，但并未排除罗纳尔多回归的可能性。

纪律委员会的非职业行为部门认定，罗纳尔多故意违反了足协纪律条例第160条第1款的规定。调查程序于10月9日启动，所涉事实为两天前报道的内容。

声明没有具体说明停赛将涵盖哪些比赛或活动，也没有说明此前因临时停赛而服刑的时间是否计入 30 天的处罚期。

罗纳尔多后来就赛后未向挪威球迷致意以及离开队友一事道歉，并表示在接受该事件带来的任何处罚后，他仍然可以被选中。

葡萄牙足协主席佩德罗·普罗恩卡表示，足协内部所有人都希望罗纳尔多在事件解决后重返国家队。
