Cristiano Ronaldo has been a stellar figure at Saudi outfit Al Nassr since joining the club in January this year.

The Portugal international is an instrumental figure at the club, and has led his troops to an Arab Club Champions Cup win already in this season.

Al Nassr are up against defending champions Al Ittihad in a crucial Saudi Pro League match today (Tuesday, December 26). The Knights of Najd will play it at the home ground of Al Ittihad, which makes it a steeper challenge.

Ronaldo's team is currently placed 2nd in the table and is behind by 10 points from league leaders Al Hilal. On the other hand, Al Ittihad are having a dismal season, placed 6th in the table.

Ahead of the monumental clash today, there is a general question regarding Cristiano Ronaldo's availability.
