According to a person familiar with the matter, Riyadh Victory coaching team decided after consultation with captain Ronaldo that Ronaldo will not participate in the team's second game of the AFC second division group stage.
Sources further stated that although Ronaldo participated in the group training on Monday, he would not go with the team. Although Ronaldo is on the team's AFC Champions League list, the coaching team is currently more inclined to give him a break, especially to avoid excessive fatigue when domestic and intercontinental events are intensive.
Ronaldo had not participated in the first AFC Champions League group stage match against Dushanbe in independence. In this game, Riyadh won 5-0 Dushanbe in independence.
