CR7 has been almost a regular feature in the Al-Nassr’s playing eleven this season. With the number of games and the duration in which they have been played, it might seem like a right decision to the fans of the club. They would understand that workload management is a key factor in terms of any player’s performance.
Al-Nassr will face Qatar Star League club Al-Duhail in their AFC Champions League clash on November 7, 2023. The match will be hosted by Al-Duhail in the Khalifa International Stadium, located in Qatar. Al-Nassr is at the top of their AFC Champions League Group E. They have three wins in their first three matches. Comparingly, Al-Duhail holds the third spot, with just one point.
The Portugal forward has already been a major on-field contributor for Al-Nassr. He has struck 29 goals and has recorded 11 assists for the team so far. CR7’s absence against Al-Duhail would be a tough one for the club to deal with.
