Ronaldo withdraws from India tour for this reason

Ever since the news of Al Nassr team's arrival in India, football fans have been eagerly waiting to see Ronaldo. However, by staying away from the India tour, he has certainly disappointed his Indian fans. In fact, when Ronaldo signed the contract with Al Nassr, there was a provision that he could withdraw himself from matches held outside Saudi Arabia. Under this provision, Ronaldo has decided to withdraw from the match against Goa.

Ronaldo preparing for the FIFA World Cup

It is being reported that Ronaldo is preparing for the FIFA World Cup to be held in 2026. For the World Cup, 40-year-old Ronaldo is managing his workload. To keep his body fit, he is choosing fewer matches so that he can play for Portugal in the next World Cup. Ronaldo was also not part of the team in the previous two matches.

Al Nassr's performance is excellent even without Ronaldo

Even in the absence of captain Ronaldo, Al Nassr's performance in the last two matches has been excellent. The team has won both matches and has a full chance of reaching the next round. FC Goa and Al Nassr are in the same group in the AFC Champions League 2. Both teams will face each other twice. After Goa, both teams will clash in Riyadh. It is possible that Ronaldo will play in the Riyadh match.
