Cristiano Ronaldo is set to miss his second straight Saudi Pro League game for Al Nassr after reportedly failing to receive clear assurances from the club’s owners — the Public Investment Fund (PIF) — regarding potential changes in management.
According to ESPN, despite training normally during the week, Ronaldo is expected to sit out Al Nassr’s upcoming match against Al Ittihad.
He already missed the previous fixture against Al Riyadh.
The situation appears linked to ongoing uncertainty and internal discussions around the club’s coaching setup and broader management structure.
No official statement has been released by Al Nassr or Ronaldo’s camp confirming the reason for his expected absence, but the report suggests the 41-year-old is waiting for clarity on the club’s future direction before returning to action.
This development comes at a sensitive time for Al Nassr, who are pushing for major honours in both the league and continental competitions.
Further updates are expected in the coming hours as the club prepares for the high-profile clash with Al Ittihad.
