Al Nassr ready for Champions League: Ronaldo will not play against Al Shorta

After the last-gasp draw against Al Ahli in the match valid for the third day of the Saudi Pro League, Al Nassr is ready to begin its adventure in the Asian Champions League. Castro’s team will face Al Shorta (Iraq) tomorrow but will have to do without its champion and captain, Cristiano Ronaldo

“Al Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo has been feeling unwell and has been diagnosed with a viral infection. The team doctor has confirmed that he needs rest and will have to stay at home. Therefore, he will not travel with the team to Iraq. We wish our Captain a speedy recovery,” the Saudi club wrote on social media last night.
