Cristiano Ronaldo is at serious risk of being banned for at least the first game of the 2026 World Cup after being shown a red card for the first time in his record-setting international career.

The ban should be "at least three matches for violent conduct" or "at least three matches or an appropriate period of time for assault, including elbowing."
