Cristiano Ronaldo is set to avoid a ban for the start of Portugal’s World Cup campaign despite his red card against the Republic of Ireland.

A FIFA disciplinary committee has imposed a three-match ban, but the final two games are suspended for one year provided there is no similar infringement during the probation period.

Ronaldo was shown a red card after appearing to swing an elbow at Ireland defender Dara O’Shea during a World Cup qualifier earlier this month.
