Ronaldo suspended for Portugal’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Luxembourg

Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Portugal, will be absent for Monday’s Euro 2024 qualifying match against Luxembourg due to suspension. The Al-Nassr forward received a yellow card during their 1-0 victory over Slovakia on Friday.

Ronaldo had a stroke of luck when he unintentionally struck former Manchester United teammate Martin Dubravka in the face with his foot, avoiding more severe consequences.

Referee Glenn Nyberg chose to issue only a yellow card, and after a VAR review, Ronaldo escaped further punishment.

This suspension stems from Ronaldo accumulating his third yellow card during the European Championship qualifying campaign.
