Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent injury has sparked reactions online after Al-Nassr FC confirmed the forward will travel to Spain for treatment.
Manager Jorge Jesus revealed that medical tests showed Cristiano Ronaldo’s hamstring injury was more serious than initially expected. The Portuguese star suffered the problem during Al-Nassr’s 3–1 win over Al‑Fayha FC, where he also missed an early penalty before limping off late in the match.
Ronaldo has now travelled to Madrid to undergo rehabilitation with his personal therapist, with early reports suggesting he could be out for two to four weeks as the club hopes for a quick recovery.
Despite the injury concern, Ronaldo had recently been in brilliant form. In one of his standout performances this season, he led Al-Nassr to a dominant 5–0 victory, a result widely highlighted under the headline “Ronaldo Fires Al Nassr Back to the Top with 5–0 Rout as Title Race Heats Up in the Saudi Pro League.”
However, the injury update quickly sparked humorous reactions online. One fan, DavizzyCFC, joked in Nigerian pidgin:
“Person wey run for him life make Iran no kpai hi.”
Softfootball reported that The supporter suggested Ronaldo might simply be using the injury as a “scope” (excuse) to temporarily leave Saudi Arabia, joking that the star had been looking for a way out because of tensions involving Iran.
