Cristiano Ronaldo might not play in Al-Nassr's match against Al Al Akhdoud
Cristiano Ronaldo has had a challenging season for Al-Nassr despite his exceptional goalscoring form. The Portuguese talisman has suffered minor injuries throughout the season that have made him miss matches.
Recent reports state that Ronaldo could miss his side's next league match against Al Akhdoud. Saudi journalist Abdulaziz Al Osaimi revealed that the possibility of Ronaldo's participation in Thursday's (May 9) match is yet to be decided. However, the good news is that the Real Madrid legend was satisfied with his latest gym session.
Earlier this year, Ronaldo suffered a calf injury which caused Al-Nassr to cancel their China Tour and Riyadh Season Cup match against Lionel Messi's Inter Miami.
However, the injuries haven't stopped the Portuguese forward from banging in goals. In 40 games across competitions this season, Ronaldo has scored 41 goals and set up 12 more.
