Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to start when Al-Nassr take on Al-Shabab at home in the Saudi Pro League on Tuesday (August 29). Knights of Najd will be looking to build on their previous 5-0 win over Al-Fateh.
Al-Nassr picked up their first win of the new league season against Al-Fateh and Ronaldo played a huge role in that game. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner scored a hat-trick and added an assist as Luis Castro’s side dominated proceedings on Friday (25 August).
Cristiano Ronaldo is his club’s main attacking threat and will be the first name on the team sheet when his side take on Al-Shabab. The Portugal captain could partner Sadio Mane and Abdulrahman Ghareeb to form a three-man attack. The former scored in a 5-0 demolition of Al-Fateh in their previous league match.
Al-Nassr climbed to 11th place in the Saudi Pro League this season for the three points. At the time of writing, they are already seven points behind league leaders Al-Ittihad, but have played a game less than the defending champions.
Al-Shabab, on the other hand, is still winless in the league. They have drawn two and lost one of their three games this season and currently find themselves 15th in the table.
Ronaldo has contributed three goals and two assists from three games across all competitions this season. However, he scored six goals in six games in the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup, which his team won.
