Cristiano Ronaldo Set to Play for Al-Nassr Against Al Hazem Tonight
Al Nassr is gearing up to host Al Hazem in the 23rd matchweek of the Saudi Pro League. The match holds significance as Al Nassr currently sits third in the standings, just one point shy of leaders Al Hilal. Both teams have completed 21 matches so far this season.
Cristiano Ronaldo Returns to the Field
After missing two consecutive games, Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to Al Nassr. He remains the team’s top scorer in the league, boasting 18 goals this season. Ronaldo’s absence due to a previous refusal to play raised concerns among fans ahead of critical matches.
Last Performance
Ronaldo played his first match back last weekend against Al Fateh FC, where he scored his 18th league goal in the first half. However, he was substituted before the match concluded. This change raised questions about his availability for subsequent games, including the recent AFC Champions League match against Arkadag.
Upcoming Match Against Al Hazem
Despite recent rest during the AFC competition, Ronaldo is set to play against Al Hazem today. Al Nassr’s head coach, Jorge Jesus, opted to give him and other key players a break in the last game. Ronaldo is expected to lead the attack, joined by Joao Felix.
Previous Encounter
In their last meeting this season, Al Nassr emerged victorious against Al Hazem, winning 2-0 on October 25, 2025. Fans are hopeful for another strong performance from Ronaldo and the team in today’s matchup.
