The precarious military situation in the Middle East worries not only politicians but also fans of world football stars. Following recent attacks by Iran, reports have surfaced on social media that Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo has left Saudi Arabia for security reasons. Zamin.uz investigated how close these rumors are to the truth.
It all started with information about a private plane belonging to Ronaldo flying from Riyadh to Madrid. Some sources have begun reporting that the 41-year-old football star fled to Spain with his family due to the threat of war. However, these rumors were soon refuted.
Fabrizio Romano: "It's just fake!"
The world's most trusted sports insider, Fabrizio Romano, clarified the situation surrounding the Portuguese star on his X (formerly Twitter) page. The journalist emphasized that Ronaldo has not left Saudi Arabia.
"Reports have spread widely in international media that Cristiano has left Saudi Arabia with his family. This is completely false information. Ronaldo is currently undergoing treatment at the Al-Nassr training facility in Riyadh," Romano wrote.
Why did the plane fly to Madrid?
The footballer's personal plane might have actually flown, but Cristiano wasn't on board. The star player himself remains at the training base for a serious reason. It has been reported that Ronaldo sustained a sonor tendon injury in one of his last matches.
Official response from "An-Nasr"
With the rise of rumors, Al-Nassr did not remain silent. The club's press service published a photo of Ronaldo taken at the training base, confirming that he is undergoing a rehabilitation program. Details of the star player's injury have been revealed, and it has been revealed that he is working under medical supervision to return to the field as soon as possible.
It's clear that despite any political and military tensions, Cristiano Ronaldo remains loyal to his club and his contract. His main goal now is to restore his health and delight his fans with new goals.
Do you think Ronaldo staying in Saudi Arabia even in such a precarious situation demonstrates his bravery, or is it simply a professional duty?
