Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix are central to Al-Nassr’s latest continental challenge, but fresh uncertainty has emerged just before the decisive AFC Champions League Two clash with Al-Wasl. Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix are central to Al-Nassr’s latest continental challenge, but fresh uncertainty has emerged just before the decisive AFC Champions League Two clash with Al-Wasl. The Portuguese pair headline a star-filled squad, yet Felix’s absence from group training has raised concern ahead of one of the club’s most important matches of the season. The stage is set at Zabeel Stadium, where a one-leg quarter-final will decide who advances to the semi-finals. For Al-Nassr, the match represents another step toward a long-awaited continental title, one that has so far eluded the club. It topped its group with a perfect 18 points and navigated the round of 16 with back-to-back 1-0 wins, showing both consistency and control. What’s more, the Riyadh outfit enters the match in formidable form. A remarkable winning streak, stretching beyond 17 matches across competitions, has turned Jorge Jesus’ side into one of Asia’s most feared sides. A star-studded attack has been the driving force behind that run. Between Ronaldo, Felix, Sadio Mane, and others, the team has produced a staggering number of goal contributions, underlining their depth and firepower. Al-Nassr’s attacking quartet so far this season: 🇵🇹 João Felix — 36 goal contributions 🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo — 29 goal contributions 🇫🇷 Kingsley Coman — 22 goal contributions 🇸🇳 Sadio Mané — 19 goal contributions pic.twitter.com/MUsuSoinEb — The Nassr Tribune™️ (@AlNassrTribune) April 15, 2026 Al-Wasl, meanwhile, arrives with a different kind of urgency. With domestic hopes fading, this competition stands as its final opportunity for silverware, adding extra intensity to the encounter. The reason why Joao Felix missed training Joao Felix has been one of Al-Nassr’s most productive players this season. Since arriving permanently in 2025, the forward has delivered 21 goals and 14 assists in 37 appearances across competitions, making him a crucial figure in the attack. His versatility, movement, and technical quality have helped complement Cristiano Ronaldo and the wider frontline. That is why his missing group session created immediate concern around availability and readiness. Reports from Al Youm and Arriyadiyah later clarified the situation. The technical staff preferred to rest him due to fatigue, rather than any serious injury issue. “Joao Felix skipped group training… and instead completed individual gym exercises,” the reports stated. Joao Felix of Al-Nassr The decision was precautionary, aimed at ensuring he remains available for selection rather than risking a setback. The Portuguese winger still trained individually, signaling that his involvement in the match remains possible. Jorge Jesus faces a key decision: Will Joao Felix play? The biggest question now is whether Felix starts, appears from the bench, or is protected further. It appears that Jorge Jesus will make the final decision in a pre-match meeting, balancing immediate need with player condition. Joao Felix celebrates scoring their third goal with Cristiano Ronaldo of Al-Nassr If Felix is unavailable from the opening whistle, alternatives such as Sadio Mane or Kingsley Coman can shoulder more responsibility. Few teams in Asia can match Al-Nassr’s attacking depth. Another option is that Jorge Jesus could be forced to change formations with Ronaldo and another centre-forward ahead.

The Saudi Pro League returns with a high-stakes clash that could shape the title race, as Al-Nassr welcomes Al-Ettifaq in Riyadh. The Saudi Pro League returns with a high-stakes clash that could shape the title race, as Al-Nassr welcomes Al-Ettifaq in Riyadh. With Cristiano Ronaldo at the center of attention, uncertainty surrounding his involvement has added intrigue to an already crucial encounter. The home side enters the match in dominant form, sitting at the top of the table and pushing for a long-awaited league title. A five-point lead and a remarkable winning streak have placed Al-Nassr in a commanding position, but the pressure remains intense with only a handful of matches left. Meanwhile, Al-Ettifaq arrives looking to disrupt the momentum despite inconsistent performances in recent weeks. The stakes could hardly be higher as the league campaign approaches its decisive stretch. Al-Nassr has collected over 70 points and built one of the strongest attacking records in the competition, scoring freely while maintaining defensive stability. Its recent 2-0 victory over Al-Akhdoud reinforced its credentials as the team to beat. Al-Ettifaq, on the other hand, finds itself in a very different situation. Sitting seventh with mixed results, the team has struggled for consistency, including a recent 3-2 defeat that exposed defensive vulnerabilities. Despite that, their ability to challenge stronger opponents keeps this fixture unpredictable. Will Ronaldo play? As anticipation built, the focus inevitably shifted to whether Ronaldo would feature in such a crucial match. Cristiano Ronaldo will start and lead the attack, adding firepower to the lineup. The Portuguese partnership between Ronaldo and Joao Felix has added creativity and finishing power in the final third. The Portuguese forward returned from a recent hamstring injury in sharp form, scoring three goals in his last two appearances. His tally of 24 league goals and an astonishing 968 career goals underline his continued influence, even at this stage of his career. What’s more, he needs six more goals to surpass Mohammed Al-Sahlawi and become Al-Nassr’s all-time top goalscorer in the Saudi Pro League. Inigo Martinez and Cristiano Ronaldo in training Both sides enter the match with important squad updates that could influence the outcome. Al-Nassr will be without Angelo Gabriel after a fitness setback, while the return of Inigo Martinez strengthens the defensive options. Al-Nassr vs Al-Ettifaq: Confirmed lineups Al-Nassr confirmed XI (4-3-3): Bento; Martinez, Al Amri, Simakan, Boushal; Brozovic, Al Khaibari, Felix; Mane, Ronaldo, Coman. Al-Ettifaq confirmed XI (5-3-2): Rodak; Radi, Khateem, Jack, Calvo, Nkota; Duda, Medran; Wijnaldum; Al Ghannam; Dembele.

Targeting a comeback in the UEFA Champions League against Atletico Madrid, FC Barcelona star Lamine Yamal made a nod to NBA legend LeBron James. Lamine Yamal was one of the few bright spots in a flat Barcelona performance that ended in a 2-0 home defeat to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their 2025-26 UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie at Camp Nou. Now eyeing a historic comeback on the road, the 18-year-old has stoked the fires ahead of the second leg with a pointed nod to NBA legend LeBron James. Despite the disappointing result, Yamal quickly shook it off by finding the net in a 4-1 win over Espanyol last Saturday in the Catalan derby. With the second leg now looming at the Metropolitano on Tuesday, he has made clear he has no intention of accepting the tie as lost, embracing the challenge of overturning the deficit on enemy turf. In a telling move on social media, Yamal swapped his Instagram profile picture to an image of LeBron James celebrating the 2016 NBA title. That was the year James returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers following his championship run with the Miami Heat and delivered the franchise its first ever title, earning Finals MVP honors in the process, with both trophies visible in the image Yamal chose as his profile picture. The context of that NBA Finals series adds another layer to the message. The Cavaliers came back from 3-1 down against Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors, with James as the driving force behind one of the most stunning reversals in sports history. In choosing that image, Yamal is making his intentions clear, setting his sights on another special “Remontada,” this time in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid. Lamine Yamal’s Instagram profile picture. Yamal had already been vocal about his belief in a turnaround immediately after the first leg. “This isn’t over yet, Culers. We will give it our all in the second leg. Together as one, always,” he wrote on Instagram following the defeat. Adding further reason for optimism, one of the last time Barcelona traveled to the Metropolitano in a high-stakes context, they came away with a convincing 3-0 victory. That came back in March 2024 in a La Liga clash, with goals from Joao Felix, Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres doing the damage, in a match where a then 16-year-old Yamal came on as a second-half substitute under coach Xavi Hernandez. Yamal keeps breaking records Goalkeeper Juan Musso was outstanding for Atletico Madrid in the first leg, denying Yamal and Barcelona on multiple occasions to preserve the clean sheet. The Spaniard bounced back in style against Espanyol on the weekend, and in doing so reached yet another milestone. On Saturday, Yamal became the youngest player ever to appear in 100 La Liga matches, reaching the mark at just 18 years and 272 days old. The record had previously been held by Real Madrid icon Raúl González, who hit the century mark at 19 years and 283 days old, another benchmark swept away by a teenager who continues to rewrite the history books at a remarkable pace.

Cristiano Ronaldo was on target as Al-Nassr moved five points clear at the Saudi Pro League summit with a 2-0 victory over Al-Okhdood. Joao Felix was also on target for Jorge Jesus’ side, who maintained their superb recent form by claiming their 13th straight win. Ronaldo broke the deadlock after just 15 minutes, taking Nawaf […] The post Al-Okhdood 0-2 Al-Nassr: Ronaldo scores as Saudi Pro League leaders claim record-breaking win appeared first on Soccer News.

The Saudi Pro League continues to build tension at both ends of the table as Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr prepares for a crucial league clash against Al-Okhdood, while the home side fights to avoid relegation. The Saudi Pro League continues to build tension at both ends of the table as Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr prepares for a crucial league clash against Al-Okhdood, while the home side fights to avoid relegation. The spotlight naturally falls on Ronaldo once again, as the league leader aims to extend its dominant run and tighten its grip on the title race. At the same time, Al-Okhdood enters the fixture in a desperate battle for survival, sitting deep in the relegation zone despite a recent lift in form. The contrast between a title-chasing giant and a struggling underdog sets the tone for a match that carries very different stakes for each club. Al-Okhdood’s season has been defined by inconsistency, defensive issues, and a constant fight against relegation pressure. Its recent 1-0 win over Al-Fateh offered a rare moment of relief, but its position remains precarious as the season nears its conclusion. On the other end of the spectrum, Al-Nassr arrives in breathtaking form under Jorge Jesus. The club has built a 13-match winning streak in the league, supported by relentless attacking output and defensive stability. Its most recent victory, a 5-2 win over Al-Najma, highlighted the firepower within the squad, with both Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane scoring twice. The team has also been dominant away from home, winning its last eight consecutive away matches. With 70 points, the Riyadh side sits at the top of the table, edging closer to a long-awaited league title. Will Ronaldo play? All eyes will once again be on Cristiano Ronaldo, who continues to play a decisive role in the club’s title charge. Despite intense competition in the scoring charts, he remains central to Al-Nassr’s attacking structure and leadership on the pitch. He will lead the line, with support from wide players, Kingsley Coman and Sadio Mane, providing constant service into the box. The veteran’s influence extends beyond goals, as his presence continues to shape the club’s mentality during high-pressure moments in the title race. Joao Felix celebrates scoring their third goal with Cristiano Ronaldo of Al-Nassr In fact, Al-Okhdood supporters reportedly plan to honor the Portuguese by chanting his name in the seventh minute of the match. The purpose of this gesture is to show admiration for the veteran superstar and his impact since joining the Saudi Pro League. What’s more, Ronaldo is within touching distance of another remarkable milestone, having already amassed 97 goals in 100 Saudi Pro League games. He reportedly needs a hat-trick in this clash to match the record for the fastest player to reach 100 league goals, a benchmark currently held by Abderrazak Hamdallah. Al-Okhdood vs Al-Nassr: Confirmed lineups Al-Okhdood confirmed XI (4-4-2): Portugal; Al-Zabdani, Gul, Gunter, Al Qaydhi; Pedroza; Borrell, Al Hatila, Narey; Bassogog, Al-Lazam. Al-Nassr confirmed XI (4-3-3): Bento; Ayman, Al Amri, Simakan, Boushal; Brozovic, Angelo, Joao Felix; Mane, Ronaldo, Coman.

The club will be without Inigo Martinez for the upcoming clash against Al-Okhdood, while uncertainty also surrounds Kingsley Coman and Joao Felix, as fitness questions linger. Cristiano Ronaldo heads into another decisive Matchday with Al-Nassr, but fresh injury concerns have disrupted preparations. The club will be without Inigo Martinez for the upcoming clash against Al-Okhdood, while uncertainty also surrounds Kingsley Coman and Joao Felix, as fitness questions linger. The absence of key figures arrives at a critical point in the season. With the title race tightening, every selection decision now carries added weight for the league leader. Al-Nassr enters the Round 28 fixture against Al-Okhdood sitting top of the Saudi Pro League with 70 points, maintaining a five-point advantage over Al-Hilal. The club has built momentum through consistent results, including a commanding victory over Al-Najma in the previous round. At the same time, rivals have shown signs of vulnerability, with Al-Hilal dropping points and Al-Qadisiyah slipping to defeat. These results have strengthened Al-Nassr’s grip on first place, but the margin remains narrow enough to demand full focus. The biggest immediate setback comes with the confirmed absence of Inigo Martinez. The Spanish defender continues his recovery from a hamstring injury and has not yet returned to full group training. Inigo Martinez of Al-Nassr controls the ball According to Arriyadiyah, he has been limited to light running and individual training as part of his rehabilitation process. His absence removes an experienced defensive option at a time when stability at the back is essential. Fitness update on Coman and Felix emerges As a result, attention has also turned to Kingsley Coman and Joao Felix, whose fitness situations have been closely monitored. Arriyadiyah’s latest update suggests that both players are still undergoing rehabilitation and are yet to be fully integrated into group training, leaving their availability uncertain. Cristiano Ronaldo of Al-Nassr (R) and Joao Felix of Al-Nassr (L Coman has resumed individual training after partial participation, with a final decision expected closer to Saturday’s Matchday. Felix, meanwhile, remains on a structured recovery program alongside other teammates dealing with muscle-related issues. The report adds that medical and technical staff continue to manage these cases carefully to avoid setbacks, highlighting the cautious approach being taken. Several players set to return on the pitch The absence and uncertainty surrounding multiple players’ places added pressure on the squad depth. While some players, including Mohamed Simakan and Abdullah Al-Hamdan, have returned to fitness, others are still working toward full recovery. Preparing for AlOkhdood 🕰️ pic.twitter.com/eF253PoS45 — AlNassr FC (@AlNassrFC_EN) April 7, 2026 This situation forces the coaching staff to carefully balance short-term results with long-term player health. Managing workloads has become a recurring theme as the season approaches its decisive phase.

The signs are good for Portugal as the 2026 FIFA World Cup edges closer and they aim to become champions for the first time. Stephen...
