AS: Based on precedent, Ronaldo may be suspended for three games and will miss the first two games if he enters the World Cup

In the European preliminaries of the World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo left the field red after elbowing his opponent. Portugal lost 0-2 to Ireland. "Aspen" wrote an article saying that Ronaldo will definitely miss the key game against Armenia first, and he may even be suspended for three games.

There are two possibilities for punishment. If the conduct is deemed "serious rough play", he will be banned for two games. The precedent is that Joan Armene was suspended for two games in the national team for this reason, with one red card and one additional game.

But the worse situation is that if Ronaldo's elbow is deemed a "violent act", the offensive behavior including the elbow should be suspended for at least three games.

If he is sentenced to a three-game ban, if Portugal advances to the World Cup, Ronaldo will miss Portugal's first two games in the World Cup. To Ronaldo's disadvantage, Armenian player Barseghyan was suspended for three games this season for inappropriate behavior.

In the best case scenario, Ronaldo only needs to miss the game against Armenia. However, any additional bans must be imposed during official matches and not friendly matches.
