In Friday’s Saudi Pro League match against Al-Ittihad, Cristiano Ronaldo will not be playing for Al-Nassr, according to manager Jorge Jesus.
The 41-year-old will miss his second match in a row.
Ronaldo is taking a stand against the PIF on an individual level.
Many of Saudi Arabia’s most prestigious clubs are owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF).
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has returned to training this week, but he is now added to the match squad.
In Ronaldo’s opinion, Al Hilal are receiving more financial support than their title rivals Al Nassr.
