Ronaldo misses Al-Nassr match amid reports of strike over lack of transfer activity
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo was absent from Al-Nassr's Saudi Pro League match against Al Riyadh on Monday amid reports he is on strike over the club's lack of transfer activity.
Portuguese media outlet A Bola reported that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is unhappy that Al-Nassr, which is backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investement Fund, has not strengthened its squad as it challenges for the league title.
Heading into the game, Al-Nassr was second behind rival Al Hilal, which is also backed by the PIF and has been linked with Ronaldo's former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema.
Al-Nassr CEO Jose Semedo declined to comment, according to Saudi media.
The 40-year-old Ronaldo has scored 17 goals this season.

Assam Police at Pawan Khera's residence in national capital, Delhi Police assisting
New Delhi (PTI): An Assam Police team on Tuesday is at the Delhi residence of Congress leader Pawan Khera for questioning in connection with a case linked to allegations made against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his family, official sources said.
The team formally informed Delhi Police upon arrival, following which a local police team joined and is assisting in the proceedings, the source said.
The development comes amid a political tussle after Sarma alleged that the Congress used "false information" sourced from a Pakistani social media group to level charges against his wife regarding multiple passports and overseas assets. He termed the allegations an attempt to influence the Assam elections and a punishable offence.
Khera had recently sought clarifications on Sarma's wife's alleged foreign assets, prompting a complaint and subsequent police action.
