Ronaldo Ready to Return: Will He Suit Up for the Saudi Pro League Showdown?
Ronaldo's injury update ahead of a crucial Saudi Pro League clash.

Ronaldo Ready to Return for the Saudi Showdown

The Portuguese star has suffered an injury since the end of last month.

Newspaper reports reveal Ronaldo's stance on playing in the Al Nassr vs Al Najmah match in the Roshen Saudi League, after the injury sidelined him for about a month.

Al Nassr hosts Al Najmah next Friday at Al Nassr Park in the 27th round of Roshen.

Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiyah says Ronaldo is now fully ready to participate after recovering.

The paper noted that the Portuguese star participated in full training for the first time since his return from injury recently.

And Ronaldo missed the last two matches against Neom and Gulf in rounds 25 and 26 of Roshen due to the injury he suffered after facing Al-Fayha in round 24.

After the injury, Ronaldo traveled to Madrid to show his injury to his private doctor, stayed there until returning to Riyadh last Wednesday, and began his rehabilitation the next day.

Ronaldo is the third top scorer in the current Roshen Saudi season with 21 goals, four behind Englishman Ivan Toni, leader for Al Ahli, and three behind Mexican Julián Quinones, of Al Qadsiah, in second.

End punchlines: The crowd will either witness a comeback or a dramatic rebranding of the injury ward—your pick. And if Ronaldo scores, call it a faith-based hat trick; if not, at least his GPS knows the way back to Riyadh.
