The upcoming Saudi Super Cup final will see Al-Nassr face off against rivals Al-Hilal. However, on the eve of the final, unsettling news has emerged from within the Al-Nassr camp: the team’s key player Cristiano Ronaldo has missed the last training session before the match. This has sparked speculation about a possible injury.
According to reports from sports news accounts on social media platforms like NewsNow4Sports, all players except Ronaldo participated in the day’s training. The 39-year-old Portuguese star opted out of the session due to feeling extremely tired. To prevent overexertion, Ronaldo decided to skip the training and instead focus on light recovery measures to ensure his fitness.
Ronaldo’s absence initially worried fans, fearing he might not be available for the final. However, from current indications, it appears to be a precautionary measure. In the previous semi-final, Ronaldo played the full match against Al-Batin, scoring a crucial goal.
Al-Nassr manager Luis Castro needs to manage Ronaldo’s playing time more carefully. Ronaldo’s absence from training, coupled with the fact that another key player, Marcelo Brozović, is suspended for the final after receiving a red card in the semi-final, poses a greater challenge for the team.
