Ronaldo's return to the pitch is a significant boost for Al Nassr, who begin their title defence against Al Fateh on Saturday. Postecoglou, who was appointed as Jorge Jesus's replacement on July 3, is preparing for his first match as manager and believes his squad are well set for the upcoming season. The Australian manager has signed a two-year contract with Al Nassr and is aware of the potential challenges his team may face.
Ronaldo's return to training comes as he prepares for his 25th senior season. He was sporting a new haircut upon his return. The Portuguese legend is chasing down a milestone in his career, aiming to become the first player to score 1,000 career goals. With 976 goals across his club and international career in 1,326 games, Ronaldo is closing in on this historic achievement.
Ronaldo finished as the third-top goal scorer in the Saudi Pro League last season with 28 goals, and he will be looking to continue his goal-scoring form this season. With the challenge of defending Al Nassr's title in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo will be looking to make a strong start to the season.
