Many questions have been raised about Cristiano Ronaldo’s participation in the AFC Champions League quarter-final against Al-Wasl in Dubai, UAE.
The Portuguese star didn’t finish Al-Nassr’s last match against Al-Ettifaq due to fatigue, and he has a history of limited playing time in the continental competition, having only played one half in the group stage against Al-Zawraa.
According to Al-Youm newspaper, Ronaldo has fully recovered and participated in the last training session, indicating his readiness to play against Al-Wasl.
The 40-year-old is traveling with the Al-Nassr squad to Dubai, making him available for selection. However, the final decision rests with coach Jorge Jesus.
It is likely that Ronaldo will play part of the match against Al-Wasl, scheduled for Sunday, to avoid overexertion before the crucial remaining period of the Saudi Pro League season.
It is worth noting that if Al-Nasr wins against Al-Wasl, they will wait for the winner of the match between Al-Ahli of Qatar and Al-Hussein Irbid in the semi-finals, and if they pass this round, they will meet Gamba Osaka of Japan in the final match.
