Cristiano Ronaldo, the forward for Saudi Arabia's "Al-Nassr" club and the Portuguese national team, will miss a portion of matches in the new season.
According to "Report", journalist Falah Al-Qahtani reported this on his social media account.
It is reported that the 40-year-old footballer had a conversation with the new head coach Jorge Jesus and reached an agreement on protecting the player's health in less important games. Considering his age, Ronaldo's workload will be reduced. It is reported that the forward agreed to miss at least 25% of the matches to avoid fatigue.
The reason for this is the player's desire to prepare for the World Cup in optimal shape, avoiding injuries.
It should be noted that the Saudi Arabian Championship will begin on August 21.
