Jorge Jesus Confirms Ronaldo Injury, Expects Return After International Break

Jorge Jesus has confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo is currently injured but expressed confidence that the star forward will return after the upcoming international break, following Al Nassr’s 5-0 victory over Al Khaleej. According to Glorioso 1904, Jesus also revealed that Sadio Mané experienced muscle fatigue and was unable to play. He noted that older players are more prone to such issues but expects them to be fully recovered once domestic fixtures resume. The Saudi Pro League will pause from March 23 to April 3. Jesus acknowledged that while the timing is unfortunate given Al Nassr’s lead at 67 points, the break could benefit key players’ fitness. On the field, João Félix ended a long goal drought by scoring twice and providing an assist in the match. Jesus praised Félix, highlighting that he has reached historic performance levels not achieved at previous clubs, crediting both his individual effort and the team’s collective work.
