Cristiano Ronaldo Included in Al-Nassr Squad for Riyadh Derby

Cristiano Ronaldo is poised to return to action as Al-Nassr prepares for its second match of the Saudi Pro League season against Al-Riyadh on Friday. The team has performed well in his absence, winning their opening league match 3-0 against Al-Fateh and a subsequent King’s Cup match 4-1 against Al-Diriyah.

Ronaldo, who missed the initial matches due to a pelvic muscle issue and limited preparation following a break, has been included in the squad for the derby. Reports suggest he is ready to start, which could enhance Al-Nassr's attacking options, especially with the recent contributions from players like Joao Felix and Sadio Mane.

Al-Nassr will be missing several key players for the match, including Saad Al Nasser and Samu Costa. Ronaldo's return is anticipated to provide a significant boost to the team as they face their rivals.
