Cristiano Ronaldo is injured and Al Nassr’s China tour has been postponed even though all tickets have been sold out, as reported by the match organizers through an official statement.

The former Real Madrid player had two previous appointments to warm up before the 2024 season officially started: against Shanghai Shenhua and Zhejiang on January 24 and 28, respectively, but his injury prevented him from doing so. that. In a statement, CR7 said it was due to “reasons beyond the club’s control” and the matches would be postponed.

Arab and Chinese media reported that CR7 suffered a slight injury to his left calf, which occurred during training.

However, the Organizing Committee confirmed the refund of all sold tickets, travel expenses and also assured that they are negotiating to agree new dates for the respective matches.

“I apologize to all Chinese fans. I know everyone is sad, and so am I,” CR7 said at the press conference announcing the news. “As you know, in football there are things that cannot be controlled,” Ronaldo said, emphasizing that for him, “China is a second home.”

Is the duel with Messi threatened?

“The Last Dance”, as announced by the teams, is one of the most exciting matches of the year, even though it is only a friendly. That can only be explained by the presence of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Both stars will face each other again on February 1 when Inter Miami and Al-Nassr meet in Saudi Arabia.

However, this match is likely to be canceled due to confirmation of Ronaldo’s injury. CR7’s absence from the field for at least 2 weeks makes the friendly match in doubt.
