The Story in Brief
Al-Nassr's coaching staff, led by Ange Postecoglou, have decided to extend Cristiano Ronaldo's break after Portugal's World Cup exit, according to 365Scores Arabic. The 41-year-old is expected to miss the Saudi Pro League opener against Al-Fateh and the King's Cup tie with Al-Diriyah. His likely return is now the August 21 match against Al-Riyadh. Ronaldo was not part of the squad during the club's pre-season camp in Lisbon.
The delay has stoked wedding speculation around Ronaldo and partner Georgina Rodríguez, but his sister Elma Aveiro dismissed the rumours on Instagram, questioning why media assumed a ceremony was planned. Ronaldo himself responded with laughing emojis to similar reports. No wedding has been announced, and crowds that gathered in Madeira expecting one left disappointed.
The Indian Opinion
The tabloid obsession with Ronaldo's personal life is distracting from a sensible football decision. Media outlets have given oxygen to a wedding rumour that his own sister called nonsense and he mocked. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr are doing what any club should: giving a 41-year-old star proper rest after a draining World Cup campaign. The real test is whether Ronaldo returns fit for the August 21 clash with Al-Riyadh or if more delays follow.
