The former Manchester United forward was unveiled by his new team Al Nassr last week, but because of his suspension that came after smashing a fans phone after a game at Manchester United in April last year, he won’t be playing.
The two match ban started when Ronaldo missed his first game on Friday. But, he could play in an exhibition match when they are faced with Paris St-Germain.
Paris St-Germain side will be playing with a team made up of players from Al Nassr and Al Hilal in Riyadh on 19 January.
Rudi Garcia, the Manager of Al Nassr told L’Equipe that Ronaldo is likely to play.
“It [Ronaldo’s debut] won’t be with the Al Nassr jersey. It will be a mix between Al Hilal and Al Nassr,” he stated.
The former coach of Lille and Lyon, Rudi Garcia said he hopes Ronaldo would be able to play again after having a lot of controversy these last two months after loosing his contract with his former team and also not winning the World Cup .
“In recent months, between Manchester United, the national team and also at a private level, he has not had easy moments,” Rudi Garcia said.
“If he finds the pleasure of playing again, it will be a good goal to achieve” he concluded.
