Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence from the Al Nassr squad continues as he missed another match for the AFC Champions League. The match took place against Arkadag in Turkmenistan, where Ronaldo was not part of the lineup. Meanwhile, he was seen training in Riyadh, raising questions about his commitment.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Situation at Al Nassr
Ronaldo, the captain of the Portugal national team, has reportedly expressed frustration over his club’s inactivity in the January transfer market. At 41 years old, he has sat out the last two Saudi Pro League games against Al Riyadh and Al Ittihad. During these matches, fans showed their support for him by holding yellow signs featuring his name and the number seven in the seventh minute of play.
Training in Riyadh
Despite not participating in the crucial clash against Arkadag, Ronaldo was spotted training with his teammates in Riyadh. This training session was shared on Al Nassr’s social media accounts, highlighting his dedication despite ongoing uncertainties about his future at the club.
Transfer Market Discontent
- Ronaldo unhappy with the Saudi Public Investment Fund’s lack of investment.
- Rival club Al Hilal acquired his former teammate Karim Benzema.
- Al Nassr facing scrutiny over their transfer strategy.
League Warning
The Saudi Pro League issued a statement emphasizing that no player, regardless of their stature, influences decisions beyond their respective clubs. This warning underscores the club’s focus on collective team strategies rather than individual preferences.
Looking Ahead
Al Nassr’s next match is scheduled against Al Fateh on Saturday. It will be essential for the team to rally together as they seek to improve their position in the league without their star player on the field.
