• •Al Nassr manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed Ronaldo is physically prepared to play beyond 45 minutes.
• •The update precedes Friday’s Saudi Pro League Matchday 4 fixture against Al Taawoun.
• •While fitness levels have reportedly improved, specific minute caps for upcoming high-intensity fixtures remain unconfirmed.

Al Nassr manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed this week that Cristiano Ronaldo has reached a fitness level allowing for extended playing time beyond the initial 45-minute limit. Previously, the club managed the 39-year-old’s load carefully as he integrated into the new campaign, according to reports from World Soccer Talk. Despite this progress, it remains unclear whether the team will implement a gradual increase or return him to a full match duration immediately. Monitoring his recovery during the upcoming schedule against Al Taawoun will be the next milestone in determining his reliability for the remainder of the season.
