The Portuguese superstar was sent off during his side's 2-0 win over Valencia, putting his participation against Manchester United in serious doubt
Cristiano Ronaldo stole all of the headlines on the second night of the Champions League, as he was sent off during Juventus' 2-0 win over Valencia on Wednesday.
Indeed, he had to be helped from the turf after collapsing upon seeing the card, and took a number of minutes to leave the pitch.
UEFA assess cases on an individual basis, though they do institute an automatic one-match suspension for a straight red dismissal.
It remains to be seen, however, if that suspension will be lengthened.
Ronaldo will find out on September 27, with the case to be dealt with "by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body".
The Portugal international was shown his very first red card in Europe's premier club competition after he appeared to pull the hair of defender Jeison Murillo.
Ronaldo was astonished at the decision to the point that he was even reduced to tears as his first return to Spain since his departure from Real Madrid turned sour.
A fairytale return to Old Trafford is on the cards at October 23, but Ronaldo will now be sweating over the prospect of missing a reunion with his former employers.
He will certainly miss Juve's next encounter, against Young Boys, on October 2 in Turin.
Ronaldo cannot appeal his ban, but faces an anxious wait to see if that suspension will be extended by UEFA.
