Ronaldo misses the Asian Champions League match

"Al-Nasr" football club head coach Jorge Jesus explained that Cristiano Ronaldo will not take the field in the 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 as part of the Asian Champions League.

Although the Portuguese star forward Cristiano Ronaldo was expected to return to the field soon, this time he will be left out of the team lineup. According to the coach, this decision was due to the team's tight match schedule.

"We decided to give Ronaldo and several key players in the main squad a rest. There is a very important match ahead against Al-Fateh," said Jesus.

These remarks were cited by the Al Nassr Zone source. According to Jesus, such a decision is not new, as Ronaldo sometimes does not participate in matches held outside Saudi Arabia.

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