Ronaldo Returns: Al-Nassr Eyes Second Pro League Win
21 Aug
Summary
- Al-Nassr aims for a second consecutive win in the Saudi Pro League.
- Cristiano Ronaldo is set to potentially debut for Al-Nassr this season.
- Al-Riyadh narrowly escaped relegation last season by a single point.
Al-Nassr, under manager Ange Postecoglou, is aiming for a second consecutive victory in the Saudi Pro League as they prepare to face Al-Riyadh. The defending champions have started the season strongly, securing wins in the King's Cup and their league opener.
The major news for Al-Nassr is the potential return of star player Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been recovering from a pelvic muscle injury. Ronaldo's presence could mark his first appearance of the season, having missed the initial games due to a delayed return after the World Cup.
Al-Riyadh, who narrowly avoided relegation by just one point last season, opened their current campaign with a loss but have since secured a win in the King's Cup. Their historical record against Al-Nassr is poor, with no wins since May 2024.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 5:00 PM UK time and will be available for viewing in the UK on DAZN.
