Ronaldo will not participate in the match against "Arkadag"

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

This was reported by euro-football.ru. According to the coach, the team will take the field against the "Arkadag" club on Wednesday as part of the AFC Champions League.

However, the Portuguese star forward Cristiano Ronaldo will not participate in this match. Earlier, Ronaldo was expected to return to the squad after the boycott, but he was not included in the lineup for this game either.

According to Jorge Jesus, due to the very tight team schedule, it was decided to give rest to Ronaldo and several key players. The coach linked this decision to the important upcoming match against "Al-Fateh".

He also noted that this is not the first time Ronaldo has been given such rest. The Portuguese forward has previously missed several matches held outside Saudi Arabia.

The match between "Al-Fateh" and "Al-Nasr" within the Saudi championship will take place on Saturday, February 14.
