According to Al-Riyadiya, Al-Nassr’s medical team told club manager Luis Castro about Ronaldo’s injury. It is believed to be a calf strain. Ronaldo, who has five Ballon d’Or awards, is expected to be out for two weeks.

Over the past couple of days, Ronaldo has been to the club’s medical clinic. He has also had treatment sessions, as well as some light training in the fitness centre.

The highest goal scorer of 2023 is expected to miss Al-Nassr’s upcoming friendlies against Shanghai Shenhua (January 24) and Zhejiang (January 28). However, if he doesn’t recover in time, Ronaldo could also miss the eagerly awaited friendly against Messi’s Inter Miami on February 1 at the Kingdom Arena.
