"He is back! After missing Al Nassr's last two league matches in protest against the lack of investment from PIF for his team during the transfer window, Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to end his "strike" and will be back on the pitch on Saturday to face 10th-place Al Fateh. While the mood will surely be lifted thanks to his return, his side did pretty well without him, picking up a pair of wins against Al Riyadh (1-0, thanks to a Sadio Man e9 goal) and Al Ittihad (2-0, thanks to Man e9 and Gabriel)."
"Al Nassr are probably still better with CR7 in the team, however, and he will start on Saturday alongside Jo e3o F e9lix up front in Jorge Jesus' tried-and-true 4-4-2 formation. The club from Riyadh is very much in the title race with the league leaders Al Hilal. They only trail by one point with 14 games still left to play, including a massive clash with the top side at home on May 7, in Matchday 32."
Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Al Nassr's lineup after missing two league matches in protest over perceived lack of PIF investment during the transfer window. Al Nassr won their two matches without him, beating Al Riyadh 1-0 thanks to a Sadio Man e9 goal and Al Ittihad 2-0 with goals from Man e9 and Gabriel. Ronaldo will start alongside Jo e3o F e9lix in Jorge Jesus' 4-4-2 formation. Al Nassr trail league leaders Al Hilal by one point with 14 games remaining and host Al Hilal on May 7. Al Fateh have not won in six league matches and possess a limited squad beyond a couple of Cape Verde internationals.
