Cristiano Ronaldo has been absent from Al Nassr's recent matches amid dissatisfaction with the club's limited activity in the January transfer window compared to rival PIF-backed teams like Al Hilal, which signed Karim Benzema. Despite reports of a strike, Ronaldo posted training images and is expected to return for the upcoming match against Al Ittihad, which could see Al Nassr top the Saudi Pro League. Saudi officials maintain league funding is equitable and continue to support Ronaldo, who has 18 months left on his contract.
