One of the most anticipated games in coming weeks could see its hype going down soon, as Cristiano Ronaldo's injury could pour cold water on his potential reunion against Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez.
Next month, Inter Miami and Al Nassr are set to face each other in a friendly match, which means that the Argentine legend and the Portuguese icon were supposed to lock horns as part of Inter's preseason tour.
Now, an untimely injury by Cristiano Ronaldo may prevent that reunion from happening, as the Portuguese ace will need to take time off to recover from a calf injury he picked up on his left leg. The player's recovery time is yet to be determined by Al Nassr's medical staff, but there are some facts that can hint CR7 will not be around for the game.
Following the announcement of Cristiano's injury, Al Nassr has been forced to postpone two warmup games against Chinese Super League clubs, since the Portuguese's presence was a must as part of the contract. Now, it seems highly unlikely that Inter Miami will cancel their game against Al Nassr, but that does not mean Cristiano Ronaldo will be involved in that clash.
With proper rest, Cristiano could be able to make a cameo appearance in the game against the Herons, but even if he is still fit to play, making him perform against his biggest rival could be risky for his current club, with the Saudi Pro League title on the line and the knockout stage of the AFC Champions League right down the corner.
