Al Nassr held Persepolis to a goalless draw despite going down to 10 men in the 17th minute itself. The single point from this game was enough to confirm their qualification to the RO16 in the AFC Champions League. However, that was not the main headline. It was the unfortunate neck injury that Cristiano Ronaldo suffered in the game. Now, after witnessing the frightening injury scare, a well-known doctor has detailed every scenario that could come to reality by the end of today.

The Al Nassr boss mentioned that the medical staff is doing their best to help him recover for the next match, which is against title rivals Al Hilal.

Cristiano Ronaldo needs to pass a bunch of tests to prove himself fit, explains doctor

Many Al Nassr fans felt concerned when the Persepolis goalkeeper mistakenly injured Cristiano Ronaldo on his neck. However, CR7 walked quite comfortably while getting substituted. At that time, the fans felt relieved that the injury was not serious. But, it looks like there could be an area for concern. According to Thamer Alshahrani, a sports physiotherapist, the Portuguese forward needs to pass certain tests. This includes ensuring full neck movement in all directions and hand pressure on painful areas of the muscles and vertebrae. If the 38-year-old does not feel pain, he will be good to take the field. However, every coin has two sides!

On the flip side, if the pain increases, club doctor Dr. David Márquez may need X-rays to get full details of the injury. At the moment, the club and the player are both hoping for the best. It is because the match against Al Hilal is vital for Cristiano Ronaldo and Co to shorten the gap with the defending champions on the points table. The doctor has also given the details as to when the results of these tests will arrive. Let’s dive deeper.

Al Nassr to know the fate of the injury of Ronaldo today

Doctor Thamer Alshahrani has revealed that the results of these tests are likely to arrive today. He said that such an injury often occurs to the neck and upper back muscles. Al Nassr’s coaching and medical staff will be the first ones to learn the results. In an unfortunate scenario during which Al Nassr misses Ronaldo for the upcoming game, how have the stats been with and without him this season?

Al Nassr will sincerely hope that the injury is not worse. This is because they have performed very well with Cristiano Ronaldo at the helm. They lost the opening match of the league campaign without CR7 against Al-Ettifaq. He missed the game because of a minor injury. The Saudi giants with the 5-time Ballon d’Or winner in the team have won 11 out of 13 games in the league. They have lost and drawn once each when he was there on the pitch.

This season Cristiano Ronaldo has 15 goals and 7 assists in 13 league games. This indicates that Al Nassr is a much better team while Cristiano Ronaldo is on the pitch. Will he be fit in time for the Al Hilal battle? Let us know in the comments below.
