Cristiano Ronaldo has given an encouraging update on his fitness, telling fans he is “getting better every day” in a post shared on X. The news comes as the soccer icon continues to recover from a recent injury setback.
Ronald’s post
Captain Al-Nassr injured his hamstring in the Saudi Pro League clash against Al-Fayh last month. The club later confirmed the diagnosis and revealed that Ronaldo had already begun the rehabilitation process. In an official statement, Al-Nassr said: “Cristiano Ronaldo was diagnosed with a hamstring injury after the last match against Al Fayha. He has started a rehabilitation program and will be monitored every day.” However, no specific timeline was given regarding his return. The 41-year-old forward was visibly struggling at the end of the match against Al-Fayha. Although Al-Nassr secured the win, it proved to be a frustrating outing for Ronaldo. He previously missed a penalty in the 12th minute before eventually signaling to the bench and being substituted in the 81st minute, replaced by Abdullah Al-Hamdan. Ronaldo’s injury also affected his international engagements. Portugal manager Roberto Martinez left him out of the squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup warm-ups citing a “minor muscle injury”. Bernardo Silva was another notable absentee, although his omission was described as a “technical decision”. Portugal is scheduled to face the Mexico National Soccer Team on March 28 at the Azteca Banorte Stadium before taking on the United States Men’s National Soccer Team at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on March 31.
