Ronaldo given two-game ban

-

Cristiano Ronaldo has been banned for two matches and handed a £50,000 fine by the FA for hitting a mobile phone out of a fan's hand at Everton.

The 37-year-old, who is now a free agent following his release from Manchester United on Tuesday, had the altercatio­n with the 14-year-old boy after a 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park on April 9, and was cautioned by Merseyside Police.

The FA also charged the forward with improper conduct. The ban will be transferre­d when Ronaldo joins a new club in any country, but does not count in the World Cup.
