Portugal have suspended Cristiano Ronaldo after he dramatically stormed out of camp following an explosive fallout with manager Jorge Jesus.Ronaldo threw his toys out of the pram last month, claiming Portugal boss Jesus ‘broke promises’ by leaving him on the bench during their 2-1 Nations League win over Norway.The 41-year-old icon said a plan had been drawn up for him to come off the bench for 30 minutes, but Jesus made him warm up without bringing him on because he ‘didn’t need Cristiano’.
Before Portugal’s match against Denmark, football’s all-time leading goalscorer is understood to have agreed to an eight-point statement for Jesus to deliver at his press conference, aimed at quashing speculation that Ronaldo was demanding more playing time. But Jesus veered off course, prompting Ronaldo to bail on the Portugal camp before releasing an extraordinary 1,996-word statement accusing the manager of twice backtracking on his word.#Ronaldo #Jesus #Portugal
