Cristiano Ronaldo might make his Al Nassr debut in a January friendly against Lionel Messi and Paris Saint-Germain.

Rudi Garcia, the coach of Al Nassr, has disclosed that Cristiano Ronaldo will make his debut in Saudi Arabia as part of an exhibition team in a friendly against Paris Saint-Germain, which might put him against Lionel Messi.

The attacker has been suspended by the Football Association for striking a phone out of the hand of a child spectator during Manchester United’s loss at Everton in April.

It has pushed back Ronaldo’s much-anticipated debut, which is now set to take place in a showpiece match against PSG in Riyadh on January 19, complicating Garcia’s domestic plans.
