Cristiano Ronaldo BANNED from making Al-Nassr debut in Saudi Arabia on Thursday

Cristiano Ronaldo has been banned from making his Al-Nassr debut against Al-Ta'ee on Thursday.

The 37-year-old was due to play his first game for his new club at Mrsool Park in the Saudi Pro League, after he was unveiled as an Al-Nassr player earlier in the week. Ronaldo was set to receive a hot reception by supporters of his new team as they prepared to see the five-time Ballon d'Or in action for the first time.

However, he will now not feature for Al-Nassr as he still banned for his behaviour following Manchester United's 1-0 defeat against Everton last April. Ronaldo slapped the hand of Jacob Harding as he stormed down the tunnel at Goodison Park, damaging the boy's phone in the process.
