“Al-Nassr Turns to 20-Year-Old Meshari Al-Nemer as Cristiano Ronaldo’s Stand-In After Red Card”
In response to Cristiano Ronaldo’s suspension following a red card in the Saudi Super Cup game against Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr has opted to replace him with 20-year-old star striker Meshari Al-Nemer for the next two matches. Despite Al-Nassr’s appeal being rejected, manager Luis Castro has made the decision to utilize Al-Nemer as Ronaldo’s substitute, as reported by Essentially Sports. Ronaldo’s red card during the 1-2 loss to Al-Hilal saw him sidelined for the forthcoming league fixtures, marking a challenging setback for the Portuguese megastar and his team.
