The coaching staff of Al-Nassr's first football team, led by Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, has not yet made a final decision regarding the potential participation of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo in the team's upcoming match against Neom. This highly anticipated match is part of the Saudi Professional League, and the coaching staff is awaiting a medical report to determine the team captain's readiness to return to the pitch.
Cristiano Ronaldo is scheduled to undergo further medical tests on Monday to assess the progress of the injury he sustained during his team's previous match against Al-Fayha, which forced him to be substituted mid-game. The results of these tests will be crucial in determining his availability for the upcoming match against Neom, as well as the expected duration of his absence should he not be fit to play.
Al-Nassr is preparing to host Neom next Saturday evening at 10:00 PM, as part of the 25th round of the league competition. Preparations for this domestic match come after the postponement of their AFC Champions League 2 fixture against Al-Wasl of the UAE, which has shifted the team's focus to the domestic competition.
Al-Nassr enters this match sitting atop the Saudi Professional League standings with 61 points, aiming to extend their winning streak and maintain their lead. Meanwhile, Neom is in eighth place with 32 points, highlighting the importance of this match for both sides in their respective campaigns.
On the technical side, the 41-year-old has delivered outstanding performances for Al-Nassr this season. Statistics show that Ronaldo has participated in 26 matches for the team across all competitions, scoring 22 goals and contributing 4 assists, highlighting his significant value to coach Jesus's squad.
