Will Cristiano Ronaldo be available for Al Nassr vs Alverca?

After playing for Portugal in June's international window, Ronaldo was granted an extended summer break, and he will be eased back into match action this month.

Ronaldo is training at home in Portugal with the club's permission, and he is expected to come back to the team in the week of July 10 or the week following, according to local media. Al Nassr is trying to control his workload ahead of the new season, and a cameo appearance versus Rafa Benitez's Celta Vigo on July 17 will be considered.

He will very certainly go to Japan for the second round of the trip, where he will face PSG and this year's UCL Finalist Inter, as well as friendlies against Benfica and Celta Vigo in Portugal.
