Reporter: FIFA may announce Ronaldo’s suspension around December 5

In the European preliminaries of the World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo left the field red after elbowing his opponent. Portugal lost 0-2 to Ireland.

According to reporter Dale Johnson, the time for the announcement of Ronaldo's suspension has not yet been determined. According to the practice of past international match days, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee will usually hold a meeting at the beginning of the next month, and will determine the period of Ronaldo's suspension. This means that Ronaldo will know the result of his suspension around December 5 (the World Cup draw day).

According to the "FIFA Disciplinary Code", Ronaldo may be suspended for 3 games, but the specific suspension period depends on the disciplinary committee's determination of the nature of the foul. It is worth mentioning that Lauren James stepped on the back of an opponent in the 2023 Women's World Cup and was only suspended for 2 games.
