Two nights ago, Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals at the fag end of the match to help Al Nassr lift their maiden Arab Club Champions Cup. Unfortunately, the winner came at a cost. 5 minutes after the winner was scored, the former Real Madrid had to be stretchered off the field with an injury.
While manager Luis Castro hinted that the talisman will return soon, we haven’t had an update about him from Al Nassr and his camp. However, the intrigue around injury and recovery got cleared thanks to Georgina who put up a cute Instagram story earlier today.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a total fitness freak. Apart from training with the team, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner takes extra efforts to maintain his fitness. Ronaldo enhances squad training sessions by incorporating a personal workout regimen. He personally attends the gym five times a week, engaging in activities such as 25-30 minutes of cardio, high-intensity sprints, and focused weightlifting aimed at boosting muscle strength.
In total, the former Juventus striker dedicates three to four hours daily to his exercise routine. Earlier today, Georgina Rodriguez put up an Instagram story of her mirror selfie in the gym. In the photograph, one could spot Cristiano Ronaldo in one of his personal exercise routines. Hence we can surely say that Ronaldo’s return is imminent.
