Former Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo faces another delay to Al-Nassr debut

Former Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo is facing a 24-hour wait to discover the date of his potential Al-Nassr debut after the Saudi Arabian side's league game against Al-Ta'ee was postponed due to an electrical fault at the stadium.

Ronaldo faces a two-match suspension imposed by the FA back in November after the veteran knocked a phone out of the hands of an Everton fan when United played at Goodison Park last season.

FIFA rules mean that despite the ban being handed down by the English body, any suspension given by national associations are still upheld - even if a player moves to a different country - before they have had a chance to serve the ban.
