Electric blow-out threatens Ronaldo debut

Cristiano Ronaldo faces a 24-hour wait to discover whether his debut for Al Nassr will be delayed until the end of January after the Saudi Arabian club’s league game against Al Tae’e on Thursday was postponed because of an electrical fault caused by heavy rain at Mrsool Park.

Al Nassr are attempting to reschedule the game for Friday, but a failure to do so will deny Ronaldo the chance to serve the first game of his two-match suspension.
