Al Nassr: end of the strike, Cristiano Ronaldo's return date to the pitch
Cristiano Ronaldo is set to make his comeback on the pitch with Al Nassr after several days on strike.
Cristiano Ronaldo had been absent for several matches because he was dissatisfied with the end of the transfer window in Saudi Arabia. The Portuguese forward felt his club, Al Nassr, had been unfairly treated by the situation and decided to protest.
Ultimately, according to information from A Bola, things have returned to normal. CR7 is back in training. While it’s too soon for him to face Turkmen club Arkadag in the AFC Champions League this Wednesday, Ronaldo is expected to return on Saturday in the league against Al-Fateh.
Besides his demands involving the PIF, Cristiano Ronaldo also called for the payment of wages owed to several Al Nassr employees and staff, which have now been settled. The Al Nassr management also relented on the reinstatement of José Semedo and Simão Coutinho, who had been sidelined during the last transfer window.
