Cristiano Ronaldo is ultimately going to resume playing in Al Nassr again, having missed three matches in a row, both local and international. The Portuguese star is again missing as Al Nassr won the first leg of the AFC champions league Two round of 16 by a 1-0 margin over the Arkadag FC, however every indication of his comeback now seems to be on the weekend.
According to the sources, Ronaldo has chosen to call off his boycott and will participate in the Saudi Pro League match against Al Fateh on February 14. The time of his coming back was as good as possible. Al Nassr is in need of leadership and objectives as the season reaches a make or buy stage.
The 41-year-old forward has been spotted training in Riyadh with the team earlier this week. The club used social media to post pictures, portraying Ronaldo attending to team activities fully. This outlook makes it highly probable that the confrontation between the club hierarchy and the player is de-escalating.
Ronaldo had been out of two league matches because he had become frustrated with the Public Investment Fund transfer policy, and its effect on the competitiveness of Al Nassr. His absence was notable. Al Nassr was dull and lacking in the end third without their talisman.
Al Nassr had a professional performance in Asia despite his absence. In Riyadh, Abdullah Al-Hamdan contributed the second goal of the match to give Al Nassr a lead before the second match. Nevertheless, the performance left doubts on the matter of consistency in the absence of Ronaldo in the line.
In the eyes of Ronaldo, the break has been expensive. His goal pursuance drive to another Golden Boot has been stopped, and match rhythm will be hard to become again at this point of his career. Nevertheless, his anticipated arrival is a new hope.
