Al Nassr, known for their potent attack, face Al Shabab in the Saudi Pro League, seeking a vital win. After a recent defeat raised questions, they’ll be looking to bounce back. All eyes are on Cristiano Ronaldo’s availability, as his goals could be key.
Ronaldo Expected to Lead Al-Nassr Attack
Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to start for Al Nassr. He is reportedly in full fitness, having avoided injuries and suspensions. The forward arrives in strong form and could be a difference-maker once again.
João Félix is also expected to feature. He has become a cornerstone of the squad and an ideal attacking partner for Ronaldo. Sadio Mané and Kingsley Coman are also in line to start, adding pace and dribbling to the attack.

Al Nassr are expected to field the following lineup:
- Cristiano Ronaldo
