Al-Nassr moved quickly to ease concerns regarding Cristiano Ronaldo's condition after the Portuguese star left the pitch visibly uncomfortable during a Saudi Pro League match. Despite the worrying images, club manager Jorge Jesus assured fans that it was nothing more than muscle fatigue.
He felt muscle fatigue. Once we took the lead, I didn't want to take any risks. The medical staff will assess his condition, but it's just fatigue, the coach emphasized.
Ronaldo was substituted after Al-Nassr took a 2-1 lead, having missed a penalty earlier in the match. Thanks to this victory, Al-Nassr overtook Al-Ahli to reclaim the top spot in the table, now leading their rivals by two points. Hot on their heels is Al-Hilal, trailing by just a single point.
