Ronaldo will not play in the match against "Arkadag"

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

This was reported by euro-football.ru. The Ar-Riyadh club will take the field against the "Arkadag" team on Wednesday as part of the AFC Champions League.

Although the Portuguese forward is expected to return to games soon, his name was again not included in the squad this time. According to coach Jesus, due to a tight match schedule, a decision was made to give rest to Ronaldo and several key players of the main squad.

He emphasized that this decision was made to better prepare the team for the important upcoming match against "Al-Fateh". Additionally, Jesus noted that it is not new for Cristiano Ronaldo to miss some matches held outside Saudi Arabia.

He recalled that this situation has been observed several times before. The "Al-Fateh" and "Al-Nasr" match within the Saudi championship will take place on Saturday, February 14.

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