The highly anticipated match between Inter Miami and Al Nassr is set to disappoint fans, as Cristiano Ronaldo has been ruled out due to injury. The Portuguese star’s absence means that the much-anticipated matchup against Lionel Messi will not materialize, much to the dismay of fans worldwide.
Al Nassr, Ronaldo’s club, announced on Wednesday that the forward will not be participating in the upcoming friendly match, citing a calf muscle injury that has been plaguing the player for several weeks. This news comes as a blow to fans hoping to witness a renewed rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi, dubbed ‘The Last Dance’ due to the potential final showdown between the two football icons.
Luis Castro, coach of Al Nassr, confirmed Ronaldo’s withdrawal, stating that while the player has made progress in his recovery, he is not yet fully fit to participate in the match against Inter Miami.
“It was Al Nassr’s coach, Luis Castro, who confirmed in training prior to the duel against Inter Miami, that although the Portuguese has evolved well from his injury, he is not yet fully recovered, which is why he will be out of this important match,” Castro explained.
The absence of Ronaldo from the lineup is sure to disappoint fans and dampen the excitement surrounding the much-anticipated matchup. While this news may come as a disappointment to many, fans will have to wait for another opportunity to witness the clash between the two football legends.
