Cristiano Ronaldo remains in Saudi Arabia despite tensions and bombings in the Middle East

R ecently, following the armed conflict in the Middle East , information had spread about Cristiano Ronaldo and his family leaving Saudi Arabia for their home in Madrid . However, this information is false. According to Fabrizio Romano, Cristiano Ronaldo is in Saudi Arabia training with Al-Nassr.

What happened to Cristiano Ronaldo?

Although he is in Saudi Arabia , Cristiano Ronaldo is ruled out of the next matches due to a hamstring injury. In Al-Nassr's last match, the Portuguese star was substituted due to a hamstring strain

It was originally thought that the Portuguese footballer was only suffering from muscle fatigue, however, the final diagnosis has been worse.

Cristiano Ronaldo misses match against Mexico and USMNT

According to Al-Nassr's medical report , his absence is indefinite, so it is very likely that he will not only miss more than a couple of matches in the Saudi Pro League , but also be absent from the call-up for the double FIFA matchday in March , missing the matches against the Mexican national team and the USMNT .

With 10 rounds of matches remaining in the Saudi Pro League , it is likely that Cristiano Ronaldo could return for Al-Nassr 's final matches. They are currently top of the league with 61 points, but are closely followed by Al-Ahli , who have 59 points, so there is no margin for error for the yellow team

It will also be important for Ronaldo to regain his rhythm ahead of the 2026 World Cup. With less than 100 days to go before the inauguration, it seems more than enough time for CR7 to be back to full fitness. However, given his history of knee problems, the football world is tense at the possibility of not having the top scorer at the biggest football party, a farewell World Cup for a great player like Cristiano .
