Overview
- Ronaldo did not play in the Al‑Nassr v UD Almería friendly on Tuesday because he was on an extended post‑World Cup break, but he attended the match and was filmed greeting teammates and coach Ange Postecoglou.
- Portuguese outlet A Bola reported that Ronaldo’s vacation has ended and that he is cleared to rejoin full Al‑Nassr training in the coming days.
- Al‑Nassr finished their Portugal camp with one win and three defeats, completed no new signings and faced disrupted preparations after logistical issues and a managerial change to Postecoglou.
- The squad returns to Riyadh for final preparations with the Roshn League opener scheduled for August 15, leaving Ronaldo roughly a week of full training before competitive action begins.
- Ronaldo’s 25 percent stake in UD Almería explains his VIP presence at the friendly, and earlier reports say his wedding to Georgina Rodríguez is planned for the coming weekend, which could affect his immediate availability.
