Al-Nassr have confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo suffered a hamstring injury during their recent Saudi Pro League clash with Al-Fayha.
The club shared the update on its official X account after the match, confirming the Portuguese star has already begun treatment.
In the statement, Al-Nassr said:
“Cristiano Ronaldo has been diagnosed with a hamstring injury after the last game against Al Fayha. He started a rehabilitation program and will be under evaluation day by day.”
While the club did not give a clear timeline for his return, the update quickly drew attention across the football world.
Italian transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano also reported on the development, noting that the injury could keep the forward out for a few weeks as he recovers
Ronaldo has built a career around scoring goals and reaching major milestones, but another thing he is widely known for is his remarkable fitness.
Over the years, the Portuguese forward has managed to stay fit both during the season and in the off-season, rarely missing matches through injury.
Because of that reputation, it is always notable when the five-time Ballon d’Or winner suffers a physical setback.
Fans across the world, along with teammates at Al-Nassr, will now be hoping for a smooth and quick recovery as Ronaldo remains one of the key figures for the Saudi club.
