Postecoglou backs Ronaldo's fitness ahead of Al-Nassr's Neftchi clash

Al-Nassr coach Ange Postecoglou said Cristiano Ronaldo is in good physical and mental condition ahead of Monday's AFC Champions League Elite match against Neftchi.

• Postecoglou cited Ronaldo's full match and goal in Al-Nassr's 3-0 win over Al-Dir'iyah as evidence of his readiness.
• Ronaldo left Portugal's camp before the Denmark match after disputing coach Jorge Jesus's decision to keep him on the bench against Norway.
• Al-Nassr hosts Neftchi in Riyadh on Monday in the second round of the AFC Champions League Elite.
• Postecoglou said fixture congestion, injuries, and limited preparation time challenge the squad, and that Ayman Yahya is injured.
• Former Morocco coach Walid Regragui said on Canal+ that Ronaldo's status does not justify him doing whatever he wants.
