Cristiano Ronaldo is set to leave Saudi Arabia again amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East - but with an injury, according to his manager. The 41-year-old's whereabouts had been questioned after his £61million private jet left the country in the middle of the night on Monday. However, it was later confirmed that he was still in Saudi Arabia after being photographed with his team-mates. 'After tests, we see the injury suffered by Cristiano Ronaldo was more serious than expected,' Al-Nassr manager Jorge Jesus said on Friday. On Friday, meanwhile, Saudi Arabia said it had destroyed three drones east of Riyadh as Iran pressed on with attacks across the Gulf.
