Cristiano Ronaldo appears to have delivered a timely boost ahead of Al-Nassr’s return to action.
The Portuguese forward has been sidelined since 28 February after suffering a hamstring injury during a crucial stage of the season.
The issue raised concerns about his rhythm heading into the final months before the World Cup build-up begins.
However, his latest update suggests his recovery is progressing more quickly and he may be close to returning to full training.
Cristiano Ronaldo hints at return with positive update
Ronaldo shared an encouraging message on social media as he stepped up his recovery process.
“Good to be back! Looking good,” he wrote on his social media.
The 41-year-old had travelled to Spain to focus on his rehabilitation after the injury setback.
He has now returned to Saudi Arabia to complete the final stages of his recovery with Al-Nassr.
The timing of his return could be significant as Al-Nassr are set to face Al-Najma on 3 April following the international break.
Ronaldo’s update suggests he could be available for that fixture if his progress continues.
Roberto Martinez prediction appears accurate
Manager Roberto Martinez had already played down concerns over Ronaldo’s injury while addressing his absence on Portugal’s latest call-up.
He indicated last week that there were no major issues surrounding the forward’s condition.
Martinez suggested Ronaldo should be back within “a week or two”.
That timeline now appears to be accurate based on Ronaldo’s latest update.
His return would be a major boost for both club and country as preparations intensify.
With the World Cup approaching, maintaining fitness will remain a priority for the veteran forward.
