Cristiano Ronaldo will travel to Madrid for treatment on a hamstring injury that forced him off during Al Nassr's 3-1 win over Al Fayha. Al Nassr coach Jorge Jesus confirmed the Portugal captain needs rest and recovery after tests revealed the injury was more serious than initially feared. The 41-year-old will work with his personal physiotherapist in Spain.

Ronaldo's absence comes at a crucial time for Al Nassr, who lead the Saudi Pro League by two points over Al Ahli. The former Manchester United star has scored 21 goals this season, placing him third in the league's scoring charts behind Ivan Toney, who has 23 goals from 23 games for Al Ahli. Ronaldo's recovery timeline remains unclear.

Portugal's upcoming international fixtures add urgency to Ronaldo's rehabilitation. The national team faces Mexico at the renovated Azteca stadium on March 28 before playing the United States in Atlanta on March 31. These friendlies serve as preparation for the World Cup, where Ronaldo will aim to add to his pursuit of 1,000 career goals.
