al-nasr captain Cristiano Ronaldo ended his suspension before “Alamy” became a guest at the al-khaleej on Saturday, in the 29th round of the Saudi Professional League.
Ronaldo is expected to return for al-nasr in today’s match, after the end of the administrative penalty, as Don was expelled in the al-hilal match in the semi-final of the Saudi Diriyah Super Cup, missing the next match in the 28th round of the league.
Saudi press reports indicated that the Portuguese star would be absent for two games, as referee Mohammed Al-Hawish wrote in his report that the player had committed “disgraceful behaviour” against Ali al-Balehi, the “leader” defender.
However, the Disciplinary Committee of the Saudi Football Federation has not issued any formal decisions in this regard yet, and Ronaldo will be ready to play the Gulf match if the committee does not issue any decisions until the match date.
Ronaldo travelled on Friday with the al-nasr mission to Dammam, according to the yellow club’s official account on the “X” platform.
Al-Nasr is second in the Saudi League table with 68 points, 12 behind leaders Al-Hilal, while the Gulf is 11th with 35 points.
The projected al-nasr formation for the al-khaleej match:
Goalkeeping: David Ospina.
Defence: Mohammed Al-Fateel – Aymeric Laporte – Abdullah Al-Omari – Sultan of Ghanam – Alex Tillis.
Centre: Abdullah al-Khebri – Marcelo Brozovic – Otavio Monteiro.
Attack: Sadio Mane – Cristiano Ronaldo.
