Ricardo Carvalho Given 1 Year Ban From Portuguese National Team

The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) has announced that Real Madrid defender Ricardo Carvalho will be unable to play for his country's national team for the next 12 months.

The 33-year-old walked out of the national side's training camp last month without explanation after learning he would not start in a Euro 2012 qualifier against Cyprus.

Later that day, Carvalho issued a statement to announce his retirement from the national team.
