Al-Nassr has opted to fill Cristiano Ronaldo‘s spot with a 20-year-old rising star, Meshari Al-Nemer, for the upcoming two matches.
This decision follows Ronaldo’s ejection from the Saudi Super Cup match against Al-Hilal, where he received a red card.
Despite Al-Nassr’s appeal, Ronaldo’s suspension was upheld, sidelining the 39-year-old for the next two league fixtures.
Manager Luis Castro has confirmed Al-Nemer as Ronaldo’s replacement, as reported by Essentially Sports.
Ronaldo’s dismissal occurred during Al-Nassr’s 1-2 defeat to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup semifinal, where tensions escalated, resulting in his expulsion from the game.
