CR7 Returns! Ronaldo Ends Protest, Boosts Al-Nassr Title Hopes

Cristiano Ronaldo is back in the Al-Nassr squad and could feature in Saturday's clash with Al-Fateh. The Portuguese legend has missed his club side's last three games, having been frustrated by the Public Investment Fund during the January transfer window, but he now looks set to end his protest and return to the pitch.

The Standoff: Why CR7 Stepped Away

Ronaldo's recent hiatus from the pitch wasn't due to injury but a clear message to the Public Investment Fund (PIF). The football icon reportedly grew frustrated with a perceived disparity in support, feeling that rival clubs, particularly Al-Hilal, were receiving more significant backing and securing high-profile signings. This sentiment led to his absence from Al-Nassr's last three fixtures.

Despite CR7's star power, Al-Nassr managed an impressive feat without him, securing three consecutive victories and keeping clean sheets in each. However, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's presence remains irreplaceable for their title ambitions.
