As expected, the Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation has opened disciplinary proceedings against national team captain Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been temporarily suspended.
Uefa has confirmed it is investigating the half-time incident during Sunday's Nations League game between the Republic of Ireland and Israel following an accusation of spitting.
Cristiano Ronaldo says he is not retiring from international football but deserves to be punished for walking out on Portugal even though head coach Jorge Jesus "broke his word to me".
