Cristiano Ronaldo's Availability in Doubt for Al Nassr's Match Against Al Riyadh

Cristiano Ronaldo's participation in Al Nassr's upcoming match against Al Riyadh is uncertain due to a pelvic muscle injury. The game is set for Friday, as Al Nassr seeks to maintain their strong start under coach Ange Postecoglou.

Al Nassr has enjoyed a successful beginning to the season, winning their last two matches, including a 4-1 victory in the King’s Cup and a 3-0 win in their league opener. Ronaldo has not played in these matches and trained separately from the team while recovering from his injury.

A decision regarding his fitness is expected after Thursday's training session. Al Riyadh, who narrowly escaped relegation last season, lost their opening match 4-2 but secured a 2-0 win in the King’s Cup. Historically, Al Riyadh has struggled against Al Nassr, having not won since May 2024.
