Injured Ronaldo sends good wishes to Al-Nassr ahead of Neom SC clash
SPORTS (NPA) — March 7, 2026 — Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, forward for Al-Nassr Football Club, has extended his best wishes to his teammates as they face Neom SC in the Saudi Pro League today. The match kicks off at 20:00 local time at Al-Awwal Park Stadium in Riyadh.
Ronaldo, who sustained a hamstring injury on March 2 during Al-Nassr’s 3–1 win over Al-Fayha, was substituted in the 80th minute after signalling discomfort. On his official X account, he posted: “Recovering and ready to watch the game today. Let’s go, Al Nassr! 🟡🔵.” The message was accompanied by a photo of him undergoing treatment.
Following medical assessments, the injury was confirmed to be more serious than initially thought, requiring rehabilitation in Madrid. However, reports indicate his participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Portugal remains unaffected.
As of the time of publication, it is still uncertain when Ronaldo will return to action for Al-Nassr.
