Ronaldo will miss the Asian Champions League match

"Al-Nasr" football club head coach Jorge Jesus explained why Cristiano Ronaldo will miss the upcoming match. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by euro-football.ru. The Riyadh club will play against Turkmenistan's "Arkadag" team on Wednesday as part of the Asian Champions League.

However, the Portuguese star forward Cristiano Ronaldo will not participate in this match. Although the coaching staff is expecting his return to the field soon, this time it was decided to give the player a rest.

According to Jorge Jesus, due to the team's tight match schedule, it was deemed necessary to give Ronaldo and other key players a short-term rest. This decision was made to prepare for the important upcoming Saudi league match against "Al-Fateh".

"Giving Ronaldo a rest is nothing new for us. He has also missed several matches outside Saudi Arabia," the coach's opinion was quoted by Al Nassr Zone.

As a reminder, the match between "Al-Fateh" and "Al-Nasr" in the Saudi league will take place on Saturday, February 14.
