Cristiano Ronaldo has been left off Al-Nassr's roster for their AFC Champions League Elite trip to Uzbekistan to face Pakhtakor on Monday. The decision comes just a week after the club's prior continental fixture was postponed, amid ongoing security concerns impacting top Asian soccer competitions.

Ronaldo, who bagged a hat-trick in Saudi Pro League action last week to reach 985 career goals, was excluded from the squad alongside teammates Kingsley Coman and Mohamed Simakan.
