Cristiano Ronaldo will not be able to make his debut for Al-Nasr in the team's upcoming match due to a ban from the FA, according to the Daily Mail.
Cristiano RonaldoAccording to a source, the 37-year-old must serve the two-match ban he received as a Manchester United player after smashing an Everton fan's phone in April last year. The Football Association (FA) in November ahead of the championship The World Cup has delivered its verdict, and the ban is still in place despite the player's departure from England at the end of December.
Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiah reported that, apart from the suspension, there are other factors preventing Ronaldo from making his debut in Thursday's Saudi Arabia League 12 match against Al-Taiyya. Another foreign player will have to leave Al-Nasr, and the club still needs to receive a certificate of competency from the Saudi Arabian Football Federation. In addition, coach Rudy Garcia said that Ronaldo will be given time to regain full fitness before making his debut for his new club.
