HOT: Al Nassr delivers bad news regarding Ronaldo's injury

Cristiano Ronaldo suffers a hamstring injury as Al-Nassr confirms a major loss, amid rumors that the star has left Saudi Arabia.

Al-Nassr has just received unfortunate news as captain Cristiano Ronaldo sustained a serious muscle injury following the most recent match in the Saudi Pro League. The veteran forward was forced to leave the pitch in the final minutes of the victory over Al-Fayha, showing clear signs of pain.

The Saudi Arabian representative officially announced the diagnosis on Tuesday, stating that their top star has begun the recovery process. In a statement on official channels, the club wrote: “Cristiano Ronaldo has been diagnosed with a hamstring injury after the match against Al-Fayha. He has started a recovery program and will be monitored and assessed daily.” However, Al-Nassr did not provide a specific timeline for the Portuguese superstar's return to play.

The injury comes at a critical time as Al-Nassr strives to maintain a fragile lead at the top of the Saudi Pro League table. Ronaldo is currently the league's top scorer with 21 goals this season, so his absence could have a significant impact.

Al-Nassr is scheduled to face Neom SC and Al-Khaleej in March, but the captain's availability remains uncertain. Furthermore, his participation in Portugal's international friendlies against Mexico and the United States later this month is also in doubt.

Beyond the sporting aspect, a series of shocking reports suggest Ronaldo may have already left Saudi Arabia. Flight tracking data indicates that Ronaldo's private luxury jet departed Saudi Arabia for Madrid overnight.

This has raised suspicions that the former Real Madrid star sought a safe haven in Europe with his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez and their five children amid increasing instability.

However, contrary to speculation about "fleeing", some close sources suggest the aircraft movement does not mean Ronaldo is abandoning his contractual duties. Other reports confirm the Portuguese forward is still receiving treatment at Al-Nassr's training center following his injury in the latest match.

The security situation is also directly affecting the football schedule in the region. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) confirmed that several major matches, including the clash between Al-Nassr and Al Wasl in the Champions League 2, will be postponed. The AFC stated that the first-leg matches of the West Asian Round of 16, originally scheduled for March 2-3, 2026, will be rescheduled due to the complex developments in the Middle East.
