Portugal Captain, Cristiano Ronaldo may feature for his new club, Al Nassr against his old rival, Lionel Messi’s Paris Saint Germain (PSG) in a friendly match.
The erstwhile Real Madrid forward was not part of the squad for the first two domestic games for Al Nassr after being held up by England’s Football Association for knocking a phone out of a fan’s hand as his former club, Manchester United lost to Everton in April.
However, Al Nassr manager, Rudi Garcia made declaration that the ex Sporting Lisbon player would play against PSG in a friendly in Riyadh on 19 January before facing Ettifaq on 22 January in the domestic league.
“It [his debut] won’t be with the Al Nassr jersey,” Garcia was quoted as saying by L’Équipe. “It will be a mix between Al Hilal and Al Nassr. As the coach of Al Nassr, I cannot be happy with this match. For development, to see PSG, to see the great Parisian players, indeed it is a good thing. But we have a championship game three days later.”
