Preview for Al-Nassr v Al-Khaleej
Cristiano Ronaldo will turn his focus back to Al-Nassr and the Saudi Pro League tomorrow when his side take on Al-Khaleej.
It has been quite the week for the Portuguese, who spent some of it hob-nobbing with US president Donald Trump in the White House as part of a Saudi delegation to Washington that also included crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman.
Ronaldo is now back in the Middle East ahead of Al-Nassr’s game tomorrow in which they will look to maintain their 100% record in the league.
Al-Khaleej will arrive in good form themselves having not lost since a home defeat to Al-Taawon in late September.
Georgios Donis’ side have climbed to sixth and his counterpart Jorge Jesus has called on the Al-Nassr fans to roar his side to victory.
Jesus said: “My message to Al-Nassr fans especially at our stadium… we need to make it a big strength for our team and players. I want the fans to be present and active, pressure the opponent, and support our players to get the win.”
