Cristiano Ronaldo will return for Al-Nassr on Saturday after missing three games amid doubts over his future at the Saudi club. The 41-year-old reportedly became unhappy with how the club were being run by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), prompting the Saudi Pro League to state "no individual - however significant - determines decisions beyond their own club". Ronaldo will return as captain for the match at Al-Fateh. Al-Nassr, third in the table, posted a dressing-room image of the captain's armband beside Ronaldo's shirt. He moved to the Middle East in December 2022 after leaving Manchester United and signed a new two-year contract last June. Karim Benzema's move to Al-Hilal was cited as the main cause of his frustration.
