Ronaldo was recently given a grand welcome by the Saudi Arabian club. Fans gathered at the Mrssol park, a stadium with a capacity of 25000 fans, to see the Portuguese legend in the flesh.
Ronaldo, however, was not in line to make his debut against Al Ta’i. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is yet to serve the two-match ban he was handed by the FA for smashing an Everton fan’s phone during Manchester United’s Premier League away clash last season. The incident took place in April 2022.
To add to that, Ronaldo is yet to be registered as the SPL side’s player as the club will have to get rid of a foreign player before adding the Portuguese.
The game, however, has been postponed altogether. Here’s what the side from the Middle-East wrote in their social media statement:
The statement further read:
Al-Nassr are currently at the top of the Saudi Pro League with 26 points on the board from 11 games. They lead second-placed Al-Shahab by a point.
