Ronaldo will not participate in the match against "Arkadag"

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

This information was reported by the euro-football.ru publication. The Ar-Riyadh club will play against the "Arkadag" team on February 14 as part of the AFC Champions League.

The Portuguese star forward was expected to return to the team after previous matches, but this time he was again not included in the squad. According to Jorge Jesus, due to the team's dense match schedule, a decision was made to rest Ronaldo and several other key players.

The coach cited the important upcoming match against "Al-Fateh" as the main reason for this decision. "Giving Ronaldo rest is not a new situation.

This is not the first time he has missed matches outside Saudi Arabia," Jesus said, as quoted by Al Nassr Zone. The match between "Al-Fateh" and "Al-Nasr" in the Saudi championship is expected to take place on Saturday.

This game is very important for the team, and it is necessary for the main squad players to be well prepared.
