Legend, who is well-known for his excellent body care in the world, does not seem to go against the years after all. Cristiano Ronaldo (41, Al Nasr), who is on the verge of an all-time record, is on alert for his participation in the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup.

Sports media "Sports Illustrated" said on the 8th (Korea time), "Ronaldo's injury is deepening," adding, "Coach Jorge Jesus Al-Nasrne acknowledged that Ronaldo's condition is worse than he first thought." Ronaldo is finally moving to Spain and asking for advice from a personal physical therapist, he reported.

Ronaldo's injury is reportedly a hamstring. "In the last game, Ronaldo was replaced by a muscle injury," Jesus said. A detailed examination revealed that the injury was more serious than expected, he said. "We need a break to recover. I just hope to return as soon as possible to help the team," he said.

The time of injury is the worst. Ronaldo is set to take on the milestone of his first six World Cup appearances in history. However, due to a more serious injury than expected, he boarded a flight to Spain and is not sure about his trip to the World Cup in about three months.

Currently, Ronaldo is staying in Spain for precision treatment. Al-Nasr has yet to confirm the exact timing of Ronaldo's return. Local experts predict that Ronaldo will be forced to miss at least four weeks to recover from his hamstring injury. Al Nasr is currently in second place, one point behind league leader Al Ahli.

The injury is also fatal to Ronaldo himself. Ronaldo planned to play in friendly matches against Mexico and the United States during the A-match period in March to boost his condition ahead of the World Cup finals. If the injury is prolonged, the record of participating in six World Cups for the first time could also fail. Ronaldo has scored eight goals and two assists in 22 World Cup matches so far.

The captain of the South Korean national soccer team also seems to want Ronaldo to play in this World Cup. Son Heung-min (34, Los Angeles FC), who has considered Ronaldo his idol, did not hesitate to point out "Cristiano Ronaldo" as the best legend in World Cup history in a video released on FIFA's official SNS recently.

Son Heung-min said, "I grew up watching Ronaldo since Park Ji-sung played for Manchester United. He is always my biggest idol and an inspiration," he said, expressing unwavering affection.

The two players even faced off in the third group match of the 2022 Qatar World Cup. At that time, Son Heung-min assisted Hwang Hee-chan's dramatic come-from-behind goal at the end of the game, leading South Korea to a 2-1 victory and advance to the round of 16 to win against Ronaldo.
