Cristiano Ronaldo's first outing since his lucrative move to Saudi Arabia could see him line up against Lionel Messi's Paris Saint-Germain - but not in an Al Nassr shirt.

PSG are scheduled to take on a team made up from Al Nassr and Al Hilal players in an exhibition game in Riyadh on 19th January and Ronaldo is likely to play, Al Nassr coach Rudi Garcia has revealed in an interview with French media outlet L'Equipe.

Ronaldo's debut for his new club has been delayed by a suspension he received after knocking a mobile 'phone out of a fan's hand when he was still a Manchester United player back in April.

The 37 year-old Portuguese forward is now set to make his first appearance for Al Nassr when they take on Ettifaq in the Saudi top flight on 22nd January.
