"Al-Nasr" football team head coach Jorge Jesus explained the reason 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. Saudi Arabia's "Al-Nasr" team will play against Turkmenistan's "Arkadag" club on Wednesday as part of the AFC Champions League.

Nevertheless, Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo will not participate in this match. According to coach Jorge Jesus, due to the team's tight match schedule, it was decided to give Ronaldo and some other key players rest.

The coach also specifically highlighted the important match against "Al-Fateh" in the Saudi Pro League, which will take place on Saturday. According to Jesus, Ronaldo's rest is a usual practice and it is not the first time this has happened in matches held outside Saudi Arabia.
