Al Nassr return to the day job of Saudi Pro League action tonight as Cristiano Ronaldo’s side face a trip to Al Ta’ee.
Ronaldo was rested for the midweek 5-1 King Cup win over Ohod and the Portugal international is in line to return as captain for Al Nassr in this game.
Luis Castro’s Al Nassr are on a five-game winning streak in the league, alongside victories in the King Cup and the AFC Champions League, and the away side will be aiming for another win in Ha’il.
They are three points behind league leaders Al Ittihad after seven matches, but, as the top-scoring team in the competition in 2023/24, they will be confident against a team who have already conceded 12 league goals this season.
