This marks the Portuguese star's fourth injury since joining Al-Nassr. The latest setback, however, is relatively minor compared to previous injuries.

In fact, the native of Madeira had already endured 24 injuries before moving to the Saudi Pro League—13 while wearing the Real Madrid shirt, 5 during his spells at Manchester United and Juventus, and 7 with the Portuguese national team.

The longest period the Portuguese international (226 caps, 143 goals) spent on the sidelines was 71 days, from July 7 to September 15, 2008, during his time at Manchester United.

With 22 goals and 4 assists in 26 appearances across all competitions, the 41-year-old striker remains Al-Nassr's beacon of hope in their quest for silverware.
