Cristiano Ronaldo's participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup is under threat due to a hamstring injury sustained during a recent Saudi Pro League match. The Portugal captain will miss his country's upcoming friendlies against Mexico and USA, as per reports.
Al Nassr, Ronaldo's club, has confirmed the injury and stated that he has begun rehabilitation, but a timeline for his return has not been provided.
Ronaldo has been in top form this season, leading the Golden Boot race with 21 league goals, and Al Nassr is currently atop the table with 67 points from 26 matches.
Despite his injury, Ronaldo has been included in Portugal's squad for the international break, but he is currently in Spain with his family, reportedly staying in a mansion in La Finca, Madrid, due to the ongoing Gulf conflict.
Ronaldo's fans worldwide will be hoping for a speedy recovery, as it could be his last appearance in the FIFA World Cup. With a storied international career spanning 11 major tournaments, including the 2018 World Cup and Euro 2016 title, Ronaldo's absence would be a significant blow to Portugal's chances.
