According to Saudi Arabian press, Cristiano Ronaldo has completely recovered from the muscle injury he suffered a few weeks ago. It is expected that CR7 will return to “full lesson plan” training with the Al Nassr first team in the next few days. Previously, there was a lot of information that Ronaldo would not be healthy enough to attend the friendly match with Inter Miami in early February.

In recent days, the Portuguese superstar has continuously had to practice privately in the gym. He raced against time to prepare for the most important phase of the season with Al Nassr. Even though Ronaldo recovers, coach Luis Castro likely won’t risk letting him play in the starting lineup. Ronaldo will probably sit on the bench and play the full number of minutes according to the signed contract.

On January 26, Ronaldo and the Al Nassr stars set off to return to Saudi Arabia, thereby officially ending their unsuccessful tour in China. On social networks, fans shared the moment Ronaldo looked sad at the airport.

The director of Al Nassr said that the Riyadh Victory China Tour event will not be canceled. Instead, Ronaldo and his teammates will return to China in August or September this year. At that time, CR7 completed the 2023/24 season and promised to give fans the most explosive performance.

Previously, Ronaldo surprised China when he announced that he could not play due to injury. This caused Al Nassr’s entire tour to be canceled. Fans in the East Asian country also had mixed reactions. Some criticized CR7, others still expressed their support, and hoped the superstar born in 1985 would recover soon.
