Cristiano Ronaldo suffered a hamstring injury during the Al-Nassr match against Al-Fayha.

Rumors circulated about the Portuguese superstar leaving for Madrid amid unrest in the Middle East.
-
A club statement and photos of Ronaldo training have dispelled these rumors.
Contrary to rumors, Cristiano Ronaldo has not left Saudi Arabia with his family for Madrid. Reports suggesting that he returned to Spain amid missile strikes near the U.S. embassy in Riyadh have been denied, as he is currently recovering at the Al-Nassr training camp.
The speculation began when flight tracking data from Flightradar24 showed Ronaldo’s private jet, a Bombardier Global Express 6500, departing Riyadh and arriving in Madrid at 1 AM local time. The aircraft flew over Egypt and across the Mediterranean before landing in Spain, but it has not been confirmed if Ronaldo and his family were on the flight.
Al-Nassr later issued a statement to clarify the situation, and well-known journalist Fabrizio Romano also dismissed the rumors. The Saudi Pro League club stated that Ronaldo sustained a hamstring injury during the team’s 3-1 victory over Al-Fayha.
