Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo still needs to serve a two-match English Football Association ban before making his Al Nassr debut, an official at the Saudi club told AFP on Friday.
The footballer was not included in Al Nassr's squad for Friday's Saudi Professional League match against Al Tai, amid reports that he was going to make his debut despite the ban.
Ronaldo was slapped with the ban in November for hitting a mobile phone out of a teenage fan's hand after Manchester United, his club at the time, lost to Everton.
"The ban is applicable after he is officially registered," one Al Nassr official, who did not want to be named because he was not authorised to speak to media, told AFP.
Al Nassr has not yet registered Ronaldo because the Saudi club have exceeded their quota for foreign players.
Ronaldo, whose deal is worth an estimated 200 million euros to June 2025, is Al Nassr's ninth foreign player - one more than the eight allowed by Saudi football authorities.
His registration is set to be completed on Friday, sources close to the club said, without disclosing who would be removed.
Saudi reports said Uzbek midfielder Jaloliddin Masharipov was most likely to make way for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner and Champions League record scorer.
Al Nassr's first game since Ronaldo's arrival was scheduled to be held on Friday at Mrsool Park, where he was unveiled to fireworks and deafening cheers from a capacity crowd on Tuesday.
