Cristiano Ronaldo has been away from the field since February 28, when he was substituted in the 3-1 match between Al Nasr and Al Fayha due to a hamstring injury.
For this reason, the coaching staff of the Portuguese national team and the Saudi Arabian club decided not to put the Portuguese star at risk in the FIFA friendly matches against Mexico and the USMNT and prioritize his recovery. Currently, “El Bicho” is sharing the latest information about his health status.
CR7 shares training session
The Portuguese national team had hoped to have their captain available for two friendlies ahead of the 2026 World Cup, against Mexico at Estadio Banorte on March 28 and against the USMNT at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on March 31, but his injury changed those plans.
However, although he has already been ruled out for both games, the Portuguese star continues to strive to get back on the field as soon as possible. In fact, Cristiano traveled to Madrid, Spain to continue his rehabilitation.
Now, the 41-year-old has surprised his 672 million followers on his official Instagram account by sharing two photos of him training in a turquoise Nike outfit.
“Getting better every day,” he wrote in the caption of a March 23 post, along with an arm-flexing emoji.
Fans, eagerly awaiting their idol’s return to the field, sent their love and blessings to the Portuguese star: “The legend won’t quit, he’ll rise again. “I can’t wait to get back on track!” said one fan, while another wrote: “I’m ready to come back,” “Get well soon, Goat,” a third hoped. “(Goat emoji) I’ll never miss a leg day,” wrote another in surprise. CR7 defined muscles.
According to reports, Cristiano is scheduled to play in the Saudi Professional League match between Al Najma SC and Al Nasr on April 3, with the team leading the standings and chasing the title. This game will be a great opportunity for him to get back into a competitive rhythm ahead of the season’s intense challenges for both club and country.
Then Roberto Marnez will be able to trust him in football’s biggest tournament and fight to bring home his first trophy.
Portugal will face the winner of the intercontinental play-off between Colombia, Uzbekistan, Jamaica, Congo and New Caledonia in Group K. They will play their first match against the winner of the intercontinental play-off on Wednesday, June 17th. They will play against Uzbekistan on June 23rd (Tuesday) and Colombia on June 27th (Saturday).
