Cristiano Ronaldo is still recovering from an injury while the Saudi league is temporarily halted. The Portuguese striker is looking to stay in top physical condition to play in a new World Cup in June, however, the conflict in the Middle East could ruin his plans.
The situation in the Middle East is quite delicate and, as a result, several countries are halting certain activities to prioritise the welfare of their citizens. In this regard, the Saudi league suspended the match between Al-Kholood and Al-Qadsiah and for now there is no clue as to when the action will resume.
The conflict in the Middle East affects Cristiano Ronaldo's activity
Taking into account that Ronaldo needs to return to the field when he recovers from injury, this suspension of football in Saudi Arabia is not good for him, as in three months he will play in the World Cup with Portugal and must be up to speed.
Both Ronaldo and people involved in football know that the most important thing is the stability of the people and for this reason it is understood that in the middle of the conflict football matches may be suspended, however, the concern for their level on the field is still latent.
"Due to logistical problems related to the movement of the teams involved, today's match has been cancelled", was the official response after the latest suspension of a match in the Saudi league and as the conflict progresses, football will remain on hold.
Ronaldo is still looking for his 1,000th goal
While the conflict in the Middle East continues and football is put on hold, it is a good time to analyze the numbers that Ronaldo is handling, who continues in the search to reach his long-awaited goal number 1000.
To date, CR7 has 960 official goals, so he only needs 40 more, a figure that is not easy, but for Ronaldo should not be a problem, as he is still at a high level and the World Cup is coming to continue adding goals.
Ronaldo is looking for his 1,000th goal and to do so, he must recover from his injury, so it is important that football does not stop for long in the Saudi league and so not only can he achieve his personal records, but also wants to be champion with Al-Nassr.
