Cristiano Ronaldo, the top scorer of the Roshan Saudi League with 23 goals, will be absent from his team Al-Nassr's match against Al-Akhudud in round 31 of the league, as part of giving the player a rest.

This marks the eighth time the Portuguese star has been absent this season, starting with his absence in the AFC Champions League match against Al-Shorta from Iraq, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

After that, Ronaldo missed the match against Qatari Al-Sadd in the same tournament, which Al-Nassr lost 2-1, and he also missed the team's draw with Al-Khaloud 3-3 in the Saudi league.

The player repeated his absence in two consecutive matches in the Champions League, the first ending in a draw with Iranian Persepolis, and the second with Esteghlal Tehran, which affected the team's results.

Ronaldo was not only absent from continental tournaments, but his absence also included local matches such as the King's Cup match against Al-Hazm, which Al-Nassr won 2-1, and the match against Damac, which ended with Al-Nassr winning 3-2.

Statistics indicate that Ronaldo's absence had a significant impact on the team's performance, as Al-Nassr played 7 matches without Ronaldo's participation, winning only 2 matches, while drawing 4 matches and suffering one defeat.
