The atmosphere at Al-Nassr is gradually calming after a period of intense tension, as Cristiano Ronaldo prepares to make his comeback in the Saudi club's jersey.

According to reports from the Saudi daily Arriyadiyah, the Portuguese captain's return comes after discussions that addressed what the media described as "human and administrative" demands.

The same source indicates that Ronaldo will not feature in the match against Arkadag in the AFC Champions League 2. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner prefers to regain full fitness to be ready for the clash with Al-Fateh, scheduled for next Saturday.

Towards new administrative stability at Al-Nassr

On the administrative front, Al-Nassr's management has begun implementing several measures to contain the recent crisis. Among the first decisions is the imminent payment of overdue wages owed to employees, as part of a plan to restore the club's financial and organizational stability.

These measures also include reinstating the executive and financial powers of CEO José Semedo and sporting director Simão Coutinho, following their temporary suspension.

Deeper changes are expected within the club's hierarchy, potentially affecting several key positions, including the chairmanship of the board of directors.

Currently, Al-Nassr sits second in the Saudi league with 49 points, just one behind leaders Al-Hilal, setting up a fiercely contested title race.
