Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to miss his first two matches with the Saudi club as he is expected to serve a two-match ban handed down by FIFA for knocking a teenager’s phone out of their hands.
Ronaldo, who signed with Al-Nassr last week, earned the suspension from FIFA due to the incident that took place in April when the former Manchester United forward knocked the cell phone out of the hands of a 14-year-old Everton fan. Ronaldo’s appeal, which was rooted in his claim that he felt “legitimate concern” for his well-being, was denied. Instead, FIFA ruled that Ronaldo acted out of annoyance with the fan.
