Cristiano Ronaldo’s not letting a little thing like an injury slow him down! The football icon took to social media today to share snaps of his intense training sessions, showing he’s “working hard” to get back in top shape for Al-Nassr’s big Saudi Pro League showdown against Al-Shabab on March 7. At 40, the guy’s still got that fire—and fans are loving it.
Ronaldo’s been sidelined since tweaking something in a match last month, but these latest pics of him sweating it out on the pitch have Al-Nassr supporters buzzing. “He’s a machine!” one fan gushed on X. With 17 goals in the league already this season, it’s no wonder everyone’s eager to see CR7 back leading the line. Coach Stefano Pioli’s probably sleeping better knowing his star man’s pushing to make it for Friday’s clash at Al-Shabab Club Stadium.
The timing’s perfect—Al-Nassr’s chasing the top spot, and a win could keep them right in the title hunt. Ronaldo’s last-minute penalty heroics against Al-Shabab back in October (a 3-2 thriller) still have fans talking, and they’re hoping for more magic. “Can’t wait to see him bury one tomorrow!” another supporter posted. Whether he starts or not, one thing’s clear: Ronaldo’s grit is giving everyone a lift. Game on!
