Is Cristiano Ronaldo playing today vs Al Feiha? Latest on Al Nassr star's injury status image

Al Nassr face Al Feiha in the AFC Champions League Round of 16 on Wednesday, Feb. 14.

Cristiano Ronaldo and his team-mates will be keen to claim the big continental prize following the lavish outlay to put their squad together.

A first-leg trip to face Saudi Pro League counterparts Al Feiha marks the beginning of their campaign in the knockout stages. The game is also Al Nassr’s return to competitive action. 

A calf injury to Ronaldo was the dominant storyline of the club’s run of lucrative mid-season friendlies. Will he be ready to take to the field this week?

What is Cristiano Ronaldo's injury?

During Al Nassr's tour of China in late January, Ronaldo suffered a calf injury. The complaint ruled him out of proposed friendly matches against Shanghai Shenhua and Zhejiang, leading to both those games being postponed.

Luis Castro’s squad then returned to Saudi Arabia for a showpiece match against Inter Miami, part of Riyadh Season and billed as a “Last Dance” between Ronaldo and his old rival Lionel Messi.

However, Ronaldo’s injury meant he was forced to watch from the stands as his colleagues ran riot in a 6-0 win. Messi was nursing a fitness issue of his own and only played for the final six minutes.

The following week, Al Nassr concluded the Riyadh Season Cup with a 2-0 defeat to domestic rivals Al Hilal. 

Although he was unable to avert the loss, Ronaldo played the 90 minutes and picked up a yellow card for his troubles.
