Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, the Saudi Al-Nasr striker, suffered a neck injury during the match against Iranian Persepolis, in the AFC Champions League group stage competitions. 

Ronaldo did not continue the match, after a joint ball with the Iranian team's goalkeeper, as he left the field in the 78th minute of the match.

Al-Riyadiah newspaper said that the initial diagnosis of Portuguese star Ronaldo's injury was a severe bruise in the neck, and the medical team began physical therapy sessions to recover from it.
