Al Nassr are on the road to face Al Fateh in Matchweek 22 of the Saudi Pro League.
Fans of the club—and Cristiano Ronaldo himself—can breathe a sigh of relief. The legendary forward, after a brief boycott, has rejoined team training and today, February 14, will make his first start in two weeks.
Notably, Ronaldo missed three consecutive matches for his side, with Al Nassr emerging victorious on all three occasions. Tonight’s fixture against Al Fateh will also mark Ronaldo’s first appearance as a 41-year-old.
