According to confirmation from Al-Nassr club, the Portuguese star is still training in Riyadh and is in the process of recovering from injury. This team posted images of Ronaldo participating in the most recent training session, thereby refuting the information that he left Saudi Arabia amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Ronaldo mainly performs recovery exercises. Al-Nassr also issued a statement confirming that the 41-year-old player suffered a hamstring injury after the match against Al-Fayha. "Cristiano Ronaldo was diagnosed with a hamstring injury and has started a recovery program. He will be monitored and evaluated daily," the team said, but has not given a specific time when he can return to play.
In the context of the complicated regional situation, some matches in the AFC Champions League Two were affected, causing the schedule of related teams to be disrupted. In the domestic league, Al-Nassr is fiercely competing for the top spot with Al-Hilal, so Ronaldo's absence if prolonged will have a significant impact on this season's title ambitions.
Saudi Arabian newspapers reported that Ronaldo is still living and treating his injury at the club as usual. He is said to have had an exchange with coach Jorge Jesus about his ability to play in the match against Neom SC at Al Awwal Park on the weekend.
From the beginning of the 2025-2026 season, Ronaldo has played 26 matches in all competitions, scored 22 goals and had 4 assists for Al-Nassr.
