Cristiano Ronaldo is making steady progress after suffering a hamstring injury during Al Nassr’s 3-1 win over Al Fayha on Feb 28 2026. The 41 year old forward could return in April after rehabilitation in Madrid. Reports say he remains on track to represent Portugal national football team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup starting June 11 in North America this summer.
Getting the latest update on his fitness has brought positive news for football fans as Cristiano Ronaldo continues his recovery from a hamstring injury suffered during Saudi Pro League action. The 41 year old forward picked up the injury on 28 February 2026 while playing for Al Nassr in their 3-1 victory over Al Fayha. Ronaldo was substituted in the 81st minute after showing clear discomfort.
Medical tests confirmed a hamstring strain and the club announced on 3 March that the Portuguese star had begun rehabilitation. Concerns initially grew after coach Jorge Jesus suggested the problem was more serious than first thought. Ronaldo later travelled to Madrid to work with his personal physiotherapist and began advanced recovery treatment, including pressotherapy, to speed up healing.
Recent reports suggest the recovery is progressing well. Ronaldo is expected to return to Riyadh by the end of March and could resume playing in early April. This timeline matches the usual 2-4 week recovery period for such injuries. The positive update also boosts hopes for Portugal national football team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, where Ronaldo aims to appear in his sixth World Cup tournament.
