Al Nassr is preparing for another Saudi Pro League match this week as they will take on the Saudi Pro League champions Al Ittihad on Friday.
Al Nassr played against Al Riyadh on Monday without Cristiano Ronaldo, with many reports suggesting that the Portuguese striker chose not to play. Ronaldo is not injured, and his absence was to express frustration with the club owners of Al Nassr.
Ronaldo's frustration comes from concern about unfair competition in the Saudi Pro League following Al Hilal's signing of Karim Benzema.
Al Hilal confirmed the signing of Benzema yesterday, and Ronaldo reportedly missed a training session with the Al Nassr team ahead of the match against Al Ittihad in a few days.
This decision made fans assume that Ronaldo would refuse to play in the Saudi Pro League to express his frustration with this transfer.
New reports suggest that fans should no longer worry about Ronaldo missing another game for Al Nassr as the Portuguese player seems set to return to action.
Cristiano Ronaldo Set to Return to Al Nassr Training
Reports in Saudi Arabia revealed that Al Nassr's team training session for the Al Ittihad match will be done today, following a day off yesterday. Today's training session will be key to determining Cristiano Ronaldo's participation in the next match.
Ronaldo is reportedly set to return to the Al Nassr team training session. The training session will determine if Ronaldo will play against Al Ittihad.
Saudi reporter Khalid Al-Shenaif reports that Ronaldo is set to not only return to team training today but that the Portuguese player will play for Al Nassr against Al Ittihad on Friday in the Saudi Pro League.
