Al Nassr coach Jorge Jesus has stated that Cristiano Ronaldo's hamstring injury, sustained during a league match last weekend, is proving to be a more complex problem than initially perceived. The player has since traveled to Spain to receive specialized treatment, with the club offering no specific timeframe for his return to action.

The 41-year-old forward was substituted after limping off the field in Al Nassr's 3-1 victory against Al-Fayha. This injury sidelines a key player for Al Nassr, who currently sit atop the 'Saudi Pro League' standings, albeit with rivals Al Ahli in close pursuit.

Ronaldo, a prolific scorer this season with 21 goals in 22 league appearances, will be working with his personal physiotherapist as he undergoes treatment. The club has been deliberately vague regarding the exact duration of his recovery period.

The situation has also raised questions about Ronaldo's availability for upcoming international fixtures. Portugal is scheduled to play friendly matches against 'Mexico' in 'Mexico City' on 'March 28' and against the 'United States' in 'Atlanta' on 'April 1'. The precise nature of his injury and subsequent treatment may impact these commitments.

Al Nassr, despite the setback, maintains a strong position in the league. The team leads Al Ahli by two points, although this lead could be precarious without their star striker. The exact details of the "more serious" nature of the injury remain undisclosed by the club.
