Cristiano Ronaldo has been spotted working out with Al-Nassr despite the fact that it is unclear when he will actually be making his debut.
The Portuguese forward signed a £175 million per year contract with the Saudi Arabian team in December, having left Manchester United in November after a shocking interview with Piers Morgan.
Even though Ronaldo might not be able to make his Al-Nassr debut until January 22, he was seen working hard in the gym with his new teammates.
Al-Nassr posted four images of their players on their English-language Twitter account in advance of their match against Al-Ta'ee on Friday, which was postponed by a day because bad weather disrupted the club's electricity supply.
The caption read: ‘Our stars finished their preparations for today’s match against @tai1381’ and show Ronaldo jogging on the field in the dark blue and black training kit of his new club.
Al-Nassr said about the delay: ‘Due to heavy rain and weather conditions impacting the stadium’s electricity, we’ve been informed tonight’s (Thursday’s) match against Al-Ta’ee is postponed for 24 hours. We apologise for any inconvenience caused to fans and wish everyone safe travels.’
Although Al-Nassr were reportedly looking into ways to get around the ban, Ronaldo could miss Friday's game and the match against Al-Shabab the following week due to a two-match domestic suspension that was carried over from his time at United.
He won't be able to make his eagerly anticipated bow for Rudi Garcia's side until January 22 if it is upheld.
The veteran Ronaldo, 37, has joined a new team that includes Luis Gustavo and Talisca from Brazil, goalkeeper David Ospina, striker Vincent Aboubakar of Cameroon, and others.
