Cristiano Ronaldo has been on strike with Al Nassr’s club management, and the Portuguese superstar was absent from the club’s Saudi Pro League match against Al Riyadh. Despite the frustrations, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner returned to the team training, raising questions about whether his strike is over.
The Saudi side is all set for an important fixture next as they attempt to improve their record against the table toppers. They stand second in the standings with 46 points, closely following Al Hilal. Will the former Manchester United player play in Al Nassr’s crucial match against Al Ittihad?
Will Ronaldo play in crucial Al-Naser vs Al-Ittihad match?
A report in The Athletic states that the sources at the club are not able to predict and said that it's “totally impossible” to figure out. His presence is predicted to be “day by day”.
Even though Ronaldo, who has turned 41 today, signed a new two-year contract last summer, which will keep him until 2027, his recent strike has prompted questions over his long-term future in Saudi Arabia.
The Real Madrid legend has been posting pictures from the training ground despite the current situation; however, his return to the squad remains uncertain. The club, on the other hand, would need the player in the team against Al-Ittihad as they trail table-topper Al Hilal by a point after 19 matches. The victory will be important for the side propelling the team to the top of the league.
Hence, the player should be able to make his return as the team hopes the player to feature in the match against Ittihad. Additionally, the player is contractually obliged to play in the match tomorrow unless he is injured in the last moment.
