Cristiano Ronaldo is understood to still be in Saudi Arabia despite reports his private jet has left the country amid the Middle East conflict.

It was reported on Tuesday that a jet owned by the 41-year-old left Saudi Arabia on Monday night.

Saudi Arabia, along with other Gulf states with United States military bases on their soil, has been the target of retaliatory strikes by Iran after the United States and Israel launched an attack on Saturday.

However, the Press Association understands Ronaldo is still in the country, with Saudi Pro League fixtures scheduled between Thursday and Saturday set to go ahead as things stand.

Ronaldo’s Al Nassr side host Neom on Saturday in Riyadh, where it was reported on Tuesday the US Embassy had been hit by Iranian drones.
