Al Nassr losing today is not the only bad news for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Al Nassr lost another game in the Saudi Pro League this season as they lost 3-1 at home to Al Raed. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr is still second in the Saudi Pro League table with 53 points, but league leader Al Hilal is running away with it. Al Hilal have a game in hand and are on 62 points. This big blow isn’t the worst news for the team as they lost a crucial player in the team that helped Ronaldo with wins this season.
Al Nassr lost two games in a row as they lost the AFC Champions League first leg of the quarter-finals on Monday against Al Ain. During the game, the team had to play without one of their crucial players, Talisca. Taslica’s last game for Al Nassr was against Al Hazem last week where the game ended 4-4. Talisca scored a hat-trick to keep them in the game. The Brazilian missed the game for the AFC Champions League against Al Ain and now is set to miss the rest of the season.
Talsica played 17 matches in the Saudi Pro League, where he scored 16 goals and provided four assists. Talisca is the second top goalscorer for Al Nassr, while Ronaldo leads the team with 22 goals. Talisca is the third goal scorer for the league and has 20 goal contributions, the third most of any player in the league. His injury is a thigh injury that will keep him out for the rest of the season, and he will have rehabilitation in Italy
Talisca sent a message to the Al Nassr fans on Instagram
Talisca went on Instagram to express how he felt about the injury. Talsica wrote, “Injury is part of the sport, but my determination is even greater! The rehabilitation begins now, and I promise to come back stronger next season to contribute even more to Al Nassr’s success.”
