2026 WCQ: Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo sent home from Portugal camp

Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, has been sent home from camp ahead of their 2026 World Cup qualifier against Armenia, Daily Mail reports.

This follows his red card in the 2-0 defeat to Ireland on Thursday.

Ronaldo was sent off following a VAR review, for a frustrated elbow on Dara O’Shea.

Straight red cards in international football carry a two-match ban.

This means Ronaldo could be suspended for the first game of what is sure to be his last-ever World Cup.

Portugal are yet to secure their qualification to next summer’s tournament.

The former European champions need a win against Armenia on Sunday to confirm their next at next year’s tournament.

Should they draw and Hungary beat Ireland by more than three goals, though, they face needing to qualify through a playoff.
