"He started a rehabilitation program and will be under evaluation day by day. He felt muscular fatigue. After we made it 2-1, I didn't want to risk it and I replaced him. The medical department will assess his condition, but what he felt was just muscle fatigue."
"Ronaldo, 41, was replaced in the 81st minute of Saturday's game and soon after had an ice pack on his right hamstring as he sat on the bench. Al Nassr coach Jorge Jesus played down fears of a serious injury following the match."
Cristiano Ronaldo suffered a hamstring injury during Al Nassr's 3-1 league win over Al Fayha on Saturday, forcing his substitution in the 81st minute. The club confirmed he has begun a rehabilitation program with ongoing daily evaluation, though no specific recovery timeline was provided. Coach Jorge Jesus characterized the injury as muscular fatigue rather than a serious concern. Ronaldo had a difficult performance, missing a penalty and failing to score from open play. An Asian Champions League Two quarterfinal match scheduled for March 4 was postponed due to regional military conflict, providing additional recovery time. Al Nassr's next fixture is Saturday against Neom. Ronaldo currently ranks third in the Saudi Pro League scoring charts with 21 goals.
