Cristiano Ronaldo has been named in Al Nassr’s starting XI for its Saudi Pro League 2026-27 match against Al Faisaly on Friday, October 23.
The Portuguese forward has endured a tough few weeks, receiving a 30-day ban from the Portuguese FA for leaving the national team camp and missing a penalty in Al Nassr’s last match against Neom SC.

However, manager Ange Postecoglou has opted to retain faith in the 41-year-old, naming him in a front two with fellow Portugal striker Joao Felix.
He has scored four goals in eight appearances so far this season, and is on 981 career goals as he chases 1000 goals.
Al Nassr currently sits third in the Saudi Pro League with 22 points from nine matches. It trails leader Al Qadsiah by three points with a game in hand, and second-place Al Hilal by two points.
