Journalists report that Cristiano Ronaldo is suspected of suffering a hamstring injury.
In the early hours of the morning, Al Nassr beat Al-Fayha 3-1 away from home. Ronaldo was substituted due to physical discomfort in the 81st minute of the game. After coming off, he was photographed sitting on the bench with an obvious pained expression, and an ice pack was applied to the affected area.
Reports state that initial indications point to hamstring discomfort, but the final diagnosis will depend on the club’s medical evaluation.
With Portugal’s friendly match against Mexico approaching, recovery time is the key factor. No official news has been released yet, but recovery periods for hamstring injuries vary depending on severity. Minor cases usually resolve within a few weeks, while more serious injuries can take longer and cast doubt on his availability for the friendly.
