Al-Nassr posted on social media account X about Cristiano Ronaldo, “The Portuguese forward was not feeling well and was found infected with a viral infection.” The official statement from the team further said that the team doctor has confirmed that Ronaldo needs to rest for the time being.

However, this cannot be confirmed yet, because only after the doctors’ report on the viral infection will it be decided whether Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to play or not. Apart from football, Cristiano Ronaldo is making records on social media. He is the only person in the world whose number of followers on social media has crossed one billion.
