Al-Nassr currently sits just one point behind league leaders Al-Hilal, with a victory against sixth-placed Al-Ittihad could propel them to the top of the Saudi Pro League 2025-26 table. However, all eyes will be on the availability of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Al-Nassr star had not featured in the club's 1-0 win over Al Riyadh on Monday, in protest of PIF's alleged lack of investment in Al Nassr and to give their arch-rivals, Al Hilal, an advantage and greater effort.

Jose Mourinho returns to Stamford Bridge as his Manchester United side will meet his former club Chelsea this weekend. Chelsea are currently unbeaten in the league and have taken 20 points from possible 24 under new manager Maurizio Sarri. Whereas Jose Mourinho has been at the fringes at Old Trafford after an unconvincing start to the season. The comeback win against Newcastle before the International break provided much-needed breathing space for the Portuguese.
Luke Shaw and Nemanja Matic are doubtful for the game and would be accessed later this week. Jesse Lingard and Ander Herrera have returned to training and hope to play some part.
