Cristiano Ronaldo could reportedly make his Al-Nassr debut today - despite being banned in a decision backed by FIFA.
Before his acrimonious departure from Manchester United was confirmed in November, the English FA handed the 37-year-old striker a two-match suspension and £50,000 fine. A riled-up Ronaldo was filmed slapping a 14-year-old autistic boy's phone out of his hand after United lost 1-0 to Everton on April 9, for which he was also cautioned by police.
But new club Al-Nassr, who the Portuguese megastar signed for last week in a deal which will see him earn a whopping £173million over two-and-a-half years in Saudi Arabia, are desperate for him to make his debut as soon as possible, keen to capitalise on the media attention following his grand unveiling on Tuesday.
