Cristiano Ronaldo has provided an encouraging update on his fitness, telling fans he is “getting better every day” in a post shared on X. The message comes as the football icon continues his recovery from a recent injury setback.
Ronaldo post
The Al-Nassr captain picked up a hamstring injury during a Saudi Pro League clash against Al-Fayha last month. The club later confirmed the diagnosis and revealed that Ronaldo had already begun his rehabilitation process. In an official statement, Al-Nassr said, “Cristiano Ronaldo has been diagnosed with a hamstring injury after the last game against Al Fayha. He started a rehabilitation program and will be under evaluation day by day.” However, no specific timeline has been provided regarding his return. The 41-year-old forward was visibly struggling late in the match against Al-Fayha. Despite Al-Nassr securing victory, it proved to be a frustrating outing for Ronaldo. He had earlier missed a penalty in the 12th minute before eventually signalling to the bench and being substituted in the 81st minute, with Abdullah Al-Hamdan coming on in his place. Ronaldo’s injury has also impacted his international involvement. Portugal manager Roberto Martinez left him out of the squad for the upcoming pre-FIFA World Cup friendlies, citing a “minor muscle injury” as the reason. Bernardo Silva was another notable absentee, although his omission was described as a “technical decision.” Portugal are scheduled to face Mexico national football team on March 28 at the Azteca Banorte Stadium, before taking on the United States men’s national soccer team on March 31 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
