Ronaldo will not play in the AFC match: The reason has been revealed

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

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

The Portuguese forward was expected to return to the field, but his name was not included in the squad for this very match. According to coach Jorge Jesus, due to a tight match schedule, it was decided to give rest to Ronaldo and several key players in the main lineup.

He emphasized that an important match against "Al-Fateh" is upcoming. According to the "Al-Nassr Zone" source, giving Ronaldo rest is not new.

He has previously missed several matches held outside Saudi Arabia. The "Al-Fateh" vs. "Al-Nasr" match within the Saudi Arabian championship is scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 14.
