After missing the derby against Al Riyadh, Cristiano Ronaldo will also sit out Al Nassr's next game as he maintains his protest against the management of the Public Investment Fund (PIF).

The strike by Cristiano Ronaldo continues. On Thursday, Fabrizio Romano reported that the Portuguese international will not face Al Ittihad, managed by Sergio Conceicao, in the 21st round of the Saudi league.

The Portugal captain had already missed the match against Al Riyadh.

The international superstar is thus continuing his protest over the way the PIF is managing the clubs under its control. In particular, the transfer of Karim Benzema from Al Ittihad to Al Hilal, the league leaders and Al Nassr's main rivals in the title race.
