Al-Nassr look to close the gap at the top of the Saudi Pro League (SPL) table as they take on Al-Riyadh tonight, Monday, 2 February 2026. The fixture is a vital one for the visitors, who currently sit second in the standings, just three points behind leaders Al-Hilal. Why is Cristiano Ronaldo Not Playing in Al-Riyadh vs Al-Nassr SPL 2025-26 Match?

However, the match has been dominated by headlines surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite being fully fit, the Portuguese forward has reportedly been left out of the squad amidst rumours of a dispute with club management. In his absence, Al-Nassr will rely on Sadio Mane and Anderson Talisca to lead the line.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 IST (18:15 local time). The encounter will take place at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh.
