Cristiano Ronaldo Gears Up for 2026 with Intense Fitness Workout
As the 2026 FIFA World Cup is lurking around the corner, Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing for what could be his sixth, and very likely final run, according to his recent comments. Retirement isn’t far off, possibly within the next couple of years.
But if anyone thought he was slowing down, Ronaldo just dropped a reminder.
Recently, the Al-Nassr skipper shared images of himself being back at the gym, captioning it: “Getting better every day 💪🏽.”
The club later confirmed he had begun recovery, forcing him to miss recent friendlies as part of a cautious return plan.
At the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Portugal’s campaign came to an end in a shocking quarterfinal loss to Morocco. Ronaldo walked off the pitch in tears. His 2026 ambitions, however, suggest he is aiming for a different outcome.
He is not trying to be the explosive winger of the past, but he’s chasing 1,000 career goals (already in the 900+ range)
With that said, Ronald's hint at remission has got his fans excited, given that he was recovering from a major injury.
Cristiano Ronaldo Suffered A Hamstring Injury Last Month
Just last month, while leading his team, Al-Nassr, to a 3-1 victory over Al-Fayha on February 28, 2026, Ronaldo suffered a hamstring injury in his right leg. He was seen holding ice packs as he missed the next matches for the team.
The injury raised concerns among fans about his availability for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Given that he is 41 years old and the kind of injury he suffered, fans feared a long-recovery time.
However, Ronaldo looks set for a comeback and is already turning heads; along with his fans, MMA star Conor McGregor couldn’t resist joining the conversation.
Under Ronaldo’s Instagram post, while showing excitement for the football legend's comeback, the Irishman hinted at his own comeback. McGregor dropped a simple but loaded comment: “Me too, Champ!”
The timing couldn’t be more interesting. Ronaldo is expected to be fully fit in the coming weeks. His comeback is already in motion.
However, his comment under Ronaldo’s post garnered the most likes in the entire thread as the footballer has hinted at playing the FIFA World Cup 2026.
