Ronaldo will not play in the match against "Arkadag"

"Al-Nasr" team head coach Jorge Jesus explained the reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo will not take the field in the upcoming match. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by euro-football.ru. The Ar-Riyadh club will play against Turkmenistan's "Arkadag" team on Wednesday within the framework of the AFC Champions League.

Although Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to return to the field soon, he will not be included in the squad list for this match. According to Jorge Jesus, due to a tight match schedule, it was decided to give rest to Ronaldo and several key players.

The coach emphasized that this decision was made to improve the players' physical condition ahead of an important match against "Al-Fateh". Jesus also noted that giving Ronaldo rest is nothing new.

According to him, the star player is not playing for the first time in matches held abroad. The Saudi Arabian league match between "Al-Fateh" and "Al-Nasr" will take place on Saturday, February 14.

This game is expected to be of significant importance for the team.
