However, this information is incorrect. Cristiano Ronaldo is training with Al Nasr in Saudi Arabia, according to Fabrizio Romano.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">What happened to Cristiano Ronaldo?<\/h2>\n<p>Cristiano Ronaldo is in Saudi Arabia but will not be able to play in the next match due to a hamstring injury. In Al Nasr&#8217;s last match, the Portuguese star was substituted due to a hamstring strain.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, it was thought that the Portuguese footballer was suffering only from muscle fatigue, but the final diagnosis was much worse.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Cristiano Ronaldo misses games against Mexico and USMNT<\/h2>\n<p>According to Al Nasr&#8217;s medical report, his absence is indefinite, so he will not only miss more than a few matches in the Saudi Professional League, but will also not take part in the FIFA Double Match Day call-up in March, and is very likely to miss the games against the Mexican national team and the USMNT.<\/p>\n<p>With 10 matches remaining in the Saudi Professional League, Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to return for Al Nasr&#8217;s final game as manager. They currently lead the league with 61 points, but with Al Ahly close behind on 59 points, the yellow side have no room for error.<\/p>\n<p>It will also be important for Ronaldo to regain his rhythm in preparation for the 2026 World Cup. With less than 100 days left until Inauguration Day, that seems like plenty of time for CR7 to return to full health. But given his history of knee problems, the football world is nervous about the possibility of not having the top scorer in the farewell World Cup, the biggest football extravaganza for a great player like Cristiano.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/2026\/03\/04\/69a810f046163f720b8b458a.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RRecently, word spread that Cristiano Ronaldo and his family left Saudi Arabia for their home in Madrid due to the armed conflict in the Middle East.
