Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to feature in today’s AFC Champions League quarter-final against Al-Ain, marking his return from a one-match suspension. Have a look at the predicted lineups for Al Nassr today.
The Portuguese superstar missed Al-Nassr’s last domestic game due to a disciplinary sanction, but he is now eligible to play and is anticipated to start the crucial first-leg encounter.
Ronaldo’s presence is a significant boost for Al-Nassr, who are chasing their first-ever AFC Champions League title. He has been in good form in the competition so far, scoring five goals and establishing himself as one of the team’s key players.
However, Al-Nassr received a blow just before the match, with reports suggesting that attacking midfielder Anderson Talisca is likely to miss the game due to a muscle injury. Talisca has been Al-Nassr’s top scorer in the tournament with six goals, making his absence a concern.
Predicted Lineups:
Al Ain XI: (Predicted): Eisa (GK), Erik, Hashemi, Koumare, Park Yong-woo, Abbas, Al Shamsi, Traore, Atzili, Gamarra, Loulenzo.
Al Nassr XI: (Predicted): Waleed (GK), Boushal, Al-Amri, Laporte, Telles, Al-Khaibari, Brozovic, Otávio, Talisca, Mané, Cristiano Ronaldo.
