Fatigued Ronaldo Threw up After Al-Nassr Match, Says Coach Jorge Jesus
Jorge Jesus said the 41-year-old forward was in poor shape and threw up after being substituted in the narrow league win.
- On Wednesday, Cristiano Ronaldo played through stomach pains during Al-Nassr's 1-0 victory against Al-Ettifaq, then vomited in the dressing room after being substituted in the 89th minute.
- The victory extended Al-Nassr's Saudi Pro League winning streak to 15 games, keeping the club eight points clear of nearest rivals Al Hilal in pursuit of their first league title since 2018-19.
- Ronaldo's 24 league goals place him third in the Saudi Pro League scorers' table, sitting three goals behind English forward Ivan Toney of Al Ahli.

- Representing Portugal at the World Cup this summer, the forward seeks a record sixth appearance, with his availability remaining critical for Al-Nassr's title push through the season's final weeks.
