Coach Luis Castro confirmed that the 38-year-old superstar will be absent from the friendly match between Al Nassr and Inter Miami in the early morning of February 2 (Hanoi time).”Cristiano Ronaldo is in the final stages of injury recovery. Once he passes, he can return to training with the main squad. We will evaluate the situation in the next few days, hopefully Everything will go well with Ronaldo. We will play without Ronaldo in tomorrow’s match,” coach Luis Castro announced.

Previously, Saudi Arabian media reported that Ronaldo was injured. The proof is that this player had to bandage his thigh during a training session. It cannot be ruled out that CR7 has had problems with his thigh muscles or hamstrings. This pain forced the former Man United star to miss at least 2 weeks.

Recently, the former MU star could only exercise in the gym or do light exercises on the field, under the supervision of a fitness coach. In the latest video, Ronaldo walks out to the parking lot with one leg still slightly limp.

Al Nassr leader chose a safe option to help Ronaldo have time to recover from his injury. After the Asian Cup and CAN end, the capital city of Riyadh will enter the most important phase of the season with the goal of competing for titles in the two main arenas, Saudi Pro League and AFC Champions League.

This is also the first time Ronaldo has been injured in an Al Nassr shirt. If not counting the conflict with coach Erik ten Hag that caused Ronaldo to call in sick and quit playing, this striker would have played for nearly 2 consecutive years without health problems.

As for Inter Miami, this club just lost to Al Hilal narrowly 3-4 in the first match at the Riyadh Season Cup friendly tournament. After the tour in Saudi Arabia, Messi and his teammates had 3 more friendly matches, against Hong Kong’s star team, Vissel Kobe, and Newell’s Old Boy. Inter Miami’s new season starts on February 22.
