'Vomited Inside' - Concerning Cristiano Ronaldo Report Emerges After Al Nassr Game

Al Nassr remains top of the Saudi Pro League and is now on 76 points after beating Al Ettifaq 1-0 at home today.

There are only five league games left this season, and Al Nassr are getting closer to winning their first Saudi Pro League title since the 2018-19 season. Cristiano Ronaldo started for Al Nassr today against Al Ettifaq but was taken off late in the game.

Ronaldo played until the 89th minute and did not appear in good condition as he walked off the pitch. Ronaldo went straight to the dressing room instead of the bench, with fans concerned it meant an injury.

Ronaldo is not injured, but the Al Nassr head coach Jorge Jesus clarified that the Portuguese striker was dealing with stomach pain.

Jorge Jesus With Cristiano Ronaldo Update

Cristiano Ronaldo did not seem fine after the match, despite Al Nassr getting closer to a league title they have not won since 2019.

Jorge Jesus, Al Nassr manager, confirmed that Ronaldo was vomiting due to a stomach issue that he had had since halftime.

Jorge Jesus said, "He felt stomach cramps between the two halves. He played the second half and insisted on continuing, but then went to the dressing room and vomited after going inside."

Ronaldo was in good spirits about the result, which sees them eight points clear of Al Hilal, who are second with 68 points. On his social media pages, Ronaldo wrote, "+3. Great energy from the stands!"
