Injury Update: “Difficult” for Cristiano Ronaldo to Face Lionel Messi & Inter Miami in Riyadh Season Cup

The Last Dance is just a day away. Reports had emerged earlier that Cristiano Ronaldo would be available in the game against Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami. However, it looks ahead of the game, a new update has now emerged on the fitness of the Al Nassr star as the club prepares for the Riyadh Season Cup. The chances of the Portuguese forward playing the game have been described as scant.

Several fans have made the journey to Saudi Arabia to see the clash of two titans. However, the Knights of Najd manager Luis Castro will also keep the team’s interest ahead of the fans.

Cristiano Ronaldo could be missing for his last dance against Lionel Messi

In the European leagues, this season, injuries have been the main talking points for the top clubs. However, it looks like the misfortune has also happened with Al Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo. After the postponement of the China tour due to his injury, he could now miss the game against Lionel Messi-led Inter Miami in the Riyadh Season Cup. Saudi journalist Bandar Al-Otaibi writing about the chances of the Portuguese forward playing wrote, “Participating with the legend is still difficult. We wish him to return to the stadiums as soon as possible.” (translated by Google)

It looks like the calf injury of the 38-year-old forward has not improved yet. Cristiano Ronaldo has been training away from the team in the gym with his trainer from the time of his injury. However, it looks like his recovery has suffered a setback ahead of the much-anticipated game. The update is certainly good news for Inter Miami who have been winless in the last eleven games.

On the other side, Al Nassr fans will hope that their star player can recover quickly to even make the bench. However, as far as Lionel Messi is concerned, Al Hilal made sure he did not miss his rival.

The clash between Al Hilal and the Herons kicked off the first game in the Riyadh Cup last night with the Saudi giants winning 4-3. It was a friendly tournament. However, the Blue Waves star Michael did the SIIU celebration after giving his team a 3-1 lead. The club themselves also did not stay behind in aiming the Argentinian. They also made sure to renew their rivalry with the Al Nassr star.

Al Hilal posted a picture of Lionel Messi struggling with the caption, “You are not the first one“. Well, the first one was unsurprisingly Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr losing the derby against them back in December last year.
