Cristiano Ronaldo will miss Al Nassr's big clash with Al Ittihad on Friday, February 6, 2026 and it's not because of injury or fitness.
According to Fabrizio Romano via their x handle , Ronaldo is sitting out the match as part of a professional protest. There are no issues with the coaching staff or his physical condition. Instead, the decision is linked to growing frustration behind the scenes.
Ronaldo has returned to Al Nassr training today, February 5, his 41st birthday , but his availability for matches remains on hold. Reports from Softfootball suggest he is unhappy with the level of backing Al Nassr received in the winter transfer window, especially compared to rivals Al Hilal, who strengthened heavily, including the high-profile signing of Karim Benzema.
