Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo refused to play in Al Nassr's previous match in the Saudi Pro League because he was reportedly frustrated with the PIF allowing Al Hilal to sign Karim Benzema.

Ronaldo returned to the Al Nassr team training session yesterday ahead of the match against Al Ittihad. Many believe this is a sign that Ronaldo will return to the squad to play this Friday.

More reports continue to suggest that it's not clear whether Ronaldo will play against Al Ittihad.
