Al Nassr have confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo has suffered a viral infection.
The Saudi Pro League side revealed this in a statement on Sunday.
As a result of this, Ronaldo will not be making the trip to Iraq to face Al-Shorta in the AFC Champions League.
His absence will be a huge blow for Al-Nassr, who have struggled to get going in this campaign and have already dropped four points in the first three matches of the Saudi Pro League.
The statement read: “Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t feeling well today and was diagnosed with a viral infection.
“The team’s doctor confirmed he needs to rest and stay at his place.
“As a result, he will not be travelling with the team to Iraq today. We wish a speedy recovery to our captain.”
