Will Cristiano Ronaldo Play in Al-Fateh vs Al-Nassr, Saudi Pro League 2025-26 Match?
Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to return to the Al Nassr starting line-up against Al Fateh, following a high-profile dispute with the club’s hierarchy. The Portuguese superstar, who had been absent from the squad for the last three matches across all competitions, reportedly resolved a strike involving grievances over squad investment and administrative changes. Ronaldo resumed full training this week and has been included in the travelling squad to Al-Hasa.
In Ronaldo's absence, Al Nassr continued their clinical form, with players like Matias Vargas and Joao Felix stepping up to maintain the club's title charge. The return of the league's leading scorer—who has netted 17 goals in 18 appearances this season—will likely see a return to a more traditional attacking formation.
