Ronaldo will not play in the AFC match

The head coach of "Al-Nasr" team, 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 the *euro-football.ru* publication. The Ar-Riyadh club will play against the "Arkadag" team on Wednesday within the framework of the AFC Champions League.

Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo was expected to return to the field soon, but he will not participate in this match either. According to coach Jorge Jesus, due to the very tight team schedule, it was decided to give rest to Ronaldo and several key players.

He emphasized that there is an important match ahead against the "Al-Fateh" team. The coach's words were cited by the *Al Nassr Zone* publication.

Also, according to Jorge Jesus, this is not the first time Ronaldo has rested. He sometimes does not participate in matches held outside Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi Arabian league match between "Al-Fateh" and "Al-Nasr" is scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 14.
