This has just been confirmed by his coach, Jorge Jesus, the Portuguese coach of Al Nassr, who was asked about Cristiano Ronaldo's injury, which has kept him out for a few weeks due to a knee problem.

"Cristiano's injury is more serious than we thought," said Jesus. "And he will travel to Spain to receive treatment with a personal therapist". The alarm bells are ringing for a player who is facing the decisive final phase of the season that will end with, in theory, the sixth World Cup of his career.
