Cristiano Ronaldo was not included in the squad for the return match against Al-Fayha in the Champions League Round of 16 by the decision of Al-Nassr's head coach, Jorge Jesus. This was reported by the publication "Speedline".
According to sources, the club's captain and leader of the Portuguese national team will not participate in today's match on February 18. The coaching staff made the decision to exclude Ronaldo from the squad in advance, but the reason for this decision is currently unknown.
We recall that Ronaldo previously missed several matches, including the away match against Al-Fayha, following protests against the Saudi Investment Fund. Later, when he returned to the squad, he scored a goal in his first match.
For reference, the first match against the Turkmenistan club ended with Al-Nassr's 1:0 victory. Also, earlier there were reports that Ronaldo could move to Al-Hilal during the summer transfer window.
