Ronaldo will not participate in the Asian Champions League match

The head coach of "Al-Nasr," Jorge Jesus, explained that 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 Riyadh-based club will play against Turkmenistan's "Arkadag" team on Wednesday as part of the Asian Champions League.

The famous Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo was expected to return to the squad after a short break. However, it has become clear that he will not be included in the lineup for this match either.

According to Jesus, due to the team's dense match schedule, it was decided to give rest to Ronaldo and several other key players. The coach stated that this decision is part of the preparation for an important championship match.

Specifically, the match against "Al-Fateh" in the Saudi league holds significant importance. According to the coach, resting Ronaldo is a usual practice.

This is not the first time he has not played in matches outside Saudi Arabia. The match between "Al-Fateh" and "Al-Nasr" in the Saudi championship is scheduled for Saturday, February 14.
