The Portuguese veteran is targeting Asia's top club crown to add to his long list of achievements when the competition kicks off on Monday.
'Al Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo was not feeling well today and was diagnosed with a viral infection,' said a club statement posted on social media platform X on Sunday.
'The team's doctor confirmed he needs to rest and stay at home. As a result he will not be travelling with the team to Iraq today. We wish our captain a speedy recovery.
Al Nassr threatThe former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward saw his first attempt with the Saudi side Al Nassr end in a quarter-final penalty shootout defeat to eventual champions Al Ain earlier this year.
