Al-Nassr: Cristiano Ronaldo will not travel to Uzbekistan

Cristiano Ronaldo is not in Al-Nassr’s squad for Monday’s AFC Champions League match against Pakhtakor in Tashkent. Coach Ange Postecoglou has rested several key players, including Kingsley Coman and Mohamed Simakan, citing a demanding run of matches and travel. Ronaldo had scored a hat-trick against Al-Kholood on October 29, taking his career total to 985 goals. Postecoglou said the team had reached an excellent level after a difficult start to the season.
