Cristiano Ronaldo suffers hamstring injury, expected to return before 2026 FIFA World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to return to action within a month after sustaining a hamstring injury, keeping his hopes of participating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup fully intact.

Al Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo has been diagnosed with a hamstring tendon injury following a 3-1 victory over Al Fayha.

The club confirmed on Tuesday that the veteran forward has commenced a rehabilitation program.

Fortunately, the injury is not considered long-term, with reports suggesting a recovery period of two to four weeks, ensuring his availability for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup in June.

The 41-year-old was substituted late on Saturday after appearing to be in significant pain.

While he is expected to miss Portugal’s friendlies against Mexico and the USA, his return to club action remains the priority.

Off the pitch, Ronaldo recently expanded his business portfolio by purchasing a stake in Spanish side UD Almería, stating, “It has been a long-time ambition of mine to contribute to football, beyond the pitch.”
