As attention focuses on Riyadh, Cristiano Ronaldo will be in the limelight once again with Al Nassr facing Al Kholood tonight in the Saudi Pro League. News coming out of Al Nassr suggests the Portuguese superstar will be available and fully fit to play and be in the starting XI of the team.Ronaldo is back from international duty with the Portuguese national football team and could not possibly be fresher heading into the match, not showing any signs of injury during the match. The match kicks off at 9:00 PM local time at Al Awwal Park in Riyadh, and his presence could give Al Nassr a major boon as they seek early-season momentum.
Cristiano Ronaldo expected to lead Al Nassr attack
Footballing superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to full training with the group and is in match shape, per team insiders.
There were no injuries or niggles announced ahead of the match. After arriving at the Saudi outfit, he had a huge impact on the pitch, and head coach Luis Castro will surely include him in the starting XI. He recently made a post on Instagram announcing to the world, “Ready. Together.” This clearly indicates that he’s perfectly fit to rival Al Kholood.
Al Nassr needs to make a strong statement, and they will be hoping Ronaldo can help them with his experience and finishing ability tonight.
The forward has impressed already this season and continues to lead on the pitch and in training. His presence will have plenty of firepower to an attacking line that has been in a good rhythm.Also Read: At 40, Cristiano Ronaldo named GOAT by Portuguese league, honoured as Best Player of All Time
Al Nassr aims to extend winning start
Last time out, Al Nassr swept aside Al Taawoun, and their forward line looked sharp and full of clinical finishers heading into this clash. Even with players like João Félix also showing good form, they will head into this clash as the second favorite.On the other hand, Al Kholood go into the game on the back of a loss to Al Ettifaq in their first match and will seek to bounce back from consecutive losses. William Troost-Ekong will lead the Nigerian defence, which has to be at the top of its game to prevent Ronaldo and company.
