Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr will sigh in relief, after the medics clear midfielder Marcelo Brozovic following an injury scare. Brozovic had to undergo a medical test following his latest international outing. While the player was available for 90 minutes in Croatia’s clash against Wales, the player reportedly picked up an unspecified knock. However, it looks like the Croation’s injuries are not severe and he could be back in action in the coming week.

Despite the positive news, it seems like Al Nassr does not want to take any risk with their star player. It has been reported that the side could drop Brozovic in their upcoming game against Damac FC. While Al Nassr will surely miss out on his services, Cristiano Ronaldo has been in great form and could help the team in the absence of one of its key players.

Medics provide an update on Marcelo Brozovic

AL Nassr superstar Marcelo Brozovic picked up a specified injury during the international break in his outings against Wales.

Cristiano Ronaldo is decisive in Al Nassr’s title challenge

Club captain Cristiano Ronaldo has been a cornerstone for Al Nassr following his move to the club last season. The player has taken to the club like a fish to water. The Saudi side has done an exceptional job of building a team around their superstar and will be hoping to clinch the Saudi Pro League title this season.

Cristiano has been in tremendous form this season, emerging as the top scorer for Al Nassr. If the player can continue to fire on all cylinders for the remaining half of the season, Al Nassr could lift their first major title following the Portuguese’s arrival.

The team had a great start to their season winning the Arab Cup. The side is now in strong contention to lift both the Saudi Pro League and AFC Champions League titles. While this could be a tough ask, if Cristiano Ronaldo manages to retain his old form, this could be one of the best seasons for Al Nassr.
