Cristiano Ronaldo has been ruled out of Al Nassr's Riyadh Season Cup match against Inter Miami and Lionel Messi due to injury.

The Portuguese legend was set to meet his fellow icon in what could be the last time they ever face each other in their careers.

Al Nassr had to cancel their tour of China as a result of a muscle injury that Ronaldo recently picked up.

And he has not recovered in time for Thursday's match against Inter Miami, with his boss Luis Castro confirming the news.

"Ronaldo is in the final part of his recovery to join the group. We hope that in the next few days you can start working with the team. He will be absent from the game."
