Cristiano Ronaldo a fitness doubt for Al-Nassr's clash against Al-Khaleej - Reports

Cristiano Ronaldo could miss Al-Nassrs Saudi Pro League clash against Al-Khaleej on Monday May 8 due to muscle fatigue, according to Arab sports newspaper Ariyadhiah.

Al-Aalami will hope to build on their 4-0 win over Al-Raed when they host Al-Khaleej at Mrsool Park. With only five games left, they have to avoid dropping any more points to retain hopes of overtaking league leaders Al-Ittihad in the title race.

The Riyadh-based club, though, could be without star forward Ronaldo on Monday May 8. According to the aforementioned source, there are concerns about the Portuguese icons fitness ahead of the clash against Al-Khaleej.

Ronaldo did not train with the first team due to muscle fatigue on Saturday May 6, as per the report. The Al-Nassr technical staff reportedly developed a special program for the 38-year-old.

The five-time Ballon dOr winner will undergo a medical examination on Sunday May 7 if the report is to be believed. The club will then decide whether Ronaldo is fit enough to feature against Al-Khaleej.

Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr on a free transfer last December, putting pen to paper on a two-and-a-half-year deal. He has since made 15 appearances across competitions for the Saudi giants, bagging 12 goals and two assists in the process.

As per the said report, the former Real Madrid superstar covers more distance on average than any of his teammates both in games and training. That is quite impressive considering he is in his late 30s.
