Is Cristiano Ronaldo playing today for Al Nassr vs PSG? Latest on CR7 availability for preseason match image

Al Nassr begin their preseason tour of Japan with a tough test against reigning Ligue 1 champions PSG in Osaka on July 25.

The Saudi Pro League side have struggled for consistency this summer with only two wins from four warm up games in their Portugal training camp.

Those victories came alongside resounding losses to top-flight opposition with Celta Vigo and Benfica easily disposing of Luis Castro's side.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been eased back into the squad in recent weeks and he is set to start against PSG.

Is Cristiano Ronaldo playing for Al Nassr vs PSG?

Ronaldo did not feature in Al Nassr's first two preseason games this month as they picked up wins against Alverca and Farense.

The veteran forward completed the first 45 minutes of the 5-0 loss to Rafa Benitez's Celta and played the full 90 minutes in the 4-1 defeat to Benfica.

However, as the intensity of preseason picks up, and the prestige of the opponents in Osaka increases, Ronaldo is certain to keep his starting spot.

What time does PSG vs Al Nassr kickoff?
