Thu Jan 09 16:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Ronaldo’s Injury Clouds Al Nassr’s Clash with Al Akhdoud

**Riyadh, Saudi Arabia –** Cristiano Ronaldo’s participation in Al Nassr’s crucial Saudi Pro League match against Al Akhdoud on Thursday remains uncertain due to an abdominal strain. The Portuguese superstar, recently honored as the all-time top goal scorer at the Globe Soccer Awards, is reportedly sidelined until the weekend.

Al Nassr, currently fourth in the league standings with 25 points, are hoping for a victory to boost their position. A win over Al Akhdoud would propel them to third place. However, the team will also be without midfielders Abdullah Al Khaibari and Sami Al Najei.

The match, kicking off at 10:30 PM IST (January 9th), will be broadcast live on Sony Sports Network in India and streamed on SonyLiv. Al Nassr will be aiming to bounce back from their 1-2 loss to league leaders Al-Ittihad in their last game, a match in which Ronaldo scored. His absence will be a significant blow to their chances.
