Cristiano Ronaldo has been left out of Al-Nassr’s squad for their Saudi Pro League clash with Al Riyadh.
The Portugal star will not be involved in the match amid ongoing frustration at the club over their work in the transfer market. Ronaldo has made clear he wants Al-Nassr to strengthen, with the team still trying to build a squad capable of challenging for major honours.
Al-Nassr have not provided an official reason for his absence, but his omission comes at a time when there is growing pressure on the club to deliver additions and show clear ambition for the rest of the season.
Ronaldo’s absence is a major talking point for a fixture in which Al-Nassr will be expected to take three points, especially with their captain and top name watching from the sidelines rather than leading the line.
The revealed news is that Ronaldo is not in the matchday squad to face Al Riyadh.
