Ronaldo back with Al-Nassr

The former Manchester United attacker joined up with the Portuguese national team last week as they faced off against Slovakia and Luxembourg in their Group J qualifiers for Euro 2024. But he was forced to miss their match against Luxembourg after receiving a yellow card against Slovakia. He is now back training with Al-Nassr following the international break.

The 38-year-old has had a wonderful start to the season in the Pro League with his current side, scoring six goals in the first four games as well as providing four assists. Al-Nassr have just nine points in the first five games and will be up against Al-Raed on Saturday, September 16.
