Cristiano Ronaldo was already set for a frustrating wait for his Al-Nassr debut, but the veteran forward could now face a further blow with reports suggesting his new club have been unable to register him.
Ronaldo was unveiled by the Saudi Pro League outfit on Tuesday, less than two months after leaving former club Manchester United. He hinted that he would be ready to start two days later in a league game against Al-Ta'ee, but this proved wishful thinking.
The forward was handed a two-game ban by the Football Association in November after slapping a phone out of the hand of a young fan as United faced Everton in the Premier League. It has been reported that this suspension will still apply to the Saudi competition, meaning the wait goes on, but fresh reports appear to rub salt into the wound.
