Cristiano Ronaldo might make his club debut for Al Nassr in a friendly matchup against Paris Saint-Germain, according to coach Rudi Garcia of the team.
During receiving a suspension from the English FA for hitting a young fan’s phone after Manchester United’s loss at Everton in April, Ronaldo missed the first of two domestic matches for the Saudi Arabian club on Friday.
Unless he plays against Lionel Messi’s PSG in a team made up of players from Al Nassr and Al Hilal on January 19, Garcia has indicated the 37-year-old will also miss the league match against Al Shabab and make his debut against Ettifaq on January 22.
“It [his debut] won’t be with the Al Nassr jersey. It will be a mix between Al Hilal and Al Nassr.
“For development, to see PSG, to see the great Parisian players, indeed it is a good thing. But we have a championship game three days later,” Garcia told French newspaper L’Equipe.
