The Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo expressed support towards his fellow players ahead of their Asian Champions League match against Al Shorta in Iraq.
The 39-year-old star wished his Al Nassr mates luck in an Instagram story on on Monday, a day after being diagnosed with a viral infection.
The five time Ballon d’Or winner will miss the league opener due to being unwell.
"Wishing my teammates the best of luck for the game and a special message to all my fans in Iraq - Hope to see you all soon!," Ronaldo wrote.
The note was posted with a picture of CR7 hugging his teammates from Al Nassr during a match, which served as the background for the text.
Earlier, Al Nassr announced that Ronaldo had been "diagnosed with a viral infection," and the doctor advised him to take rest.
It is worth noting that the viral-hit player has been making the headlines due to his unlimited achievements throughout his over 20 years career.
The UEFA’s Player of the year recently achieved a historic milestone after smashing his 900th goal while representing Portugal in the Nations League against Croatia.
Speaking on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, the most followed celebrity with a massive following of 1 billion across all social media platforms expressed his goal to reach 1,000 before his retirement.
