Al-Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo will not have three first-team players available for their Saudi Pro League clash against Al-Akhdoud, as per reports. The Knights of Najd are currently sitting in fourth place on the Saudi Pro League table, with seven wins in 13 games so far.
Following their mid-season break in December, they are set to return to the pitch when they face Al-Akhdoud on January 9. The two sides will clash at the Al-Awwal Park, where Nassr will look to build momentum by taking all three points.
However, their hopes for a win have been dented by injuries and suspension. According to a report from Saudi sports journalist Abdulaziz Al-Asimi on X, midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, winger Ayman Yahya and defensive midfielder Abdullah Al-Khaibari will be unavailable.
