Ronaldo will not play in the match against "Arkadag"
The head coach of the "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 euro-football.ru. The Ar-Riyadh club will play against the "Arkadag" team on Wednesday as part of the AFC Champions League.
Although the famous Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to return to the squad soon, he will not be included in the lineup for this particular match. According to coach Jorge Jesus, due to the very tight team schedule, it was decided to give Ronaldo and several other key players rest.
The coach noted that this decision was made considering the upcoming important matches, especially the game against "Al-Fateh." Jesus emphasized that it is not new for Ronaldo to sometimes miss international away games.
He has previously not played in several matches held outside Saudi Arabia. It is worth noting that the match between "Al-Fateh" and "Al-Nasr" in the Saudi Pro League will take place on Saturday, February 14.
