Cristiano Ronaldo not in Al-Nassr's squad for Al Tai game
Cristiano Ronaldo (37) was not included in Al-Nassr's squad for Friday's Saudi Professional League match against Al-Tai, amid media reports that he was going to make his debut despite having a two-match suspension.
The Portugal forward will miss his first two domestic games for the Saudi Arabian club after being suspended by England's Football Association (FA) for knocking a phone out of a fan's hand after Manchester United's defeat at Everton in April.
According to FIFA's Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP), any sanction of up to four matches that has been issued to a player by their former association must be "enforced by the new association."
The game against Al Tai was originally scheduled for Thursday but was postponed by 24 hours due to heavy rain and weather conditions impacting the stadium's electricity.
