Ronaldo missed Al-Nassr clash on Monday night as they travelled to Esteghlal in Iran's capital, Tehran, for the Asian Champions League.

At the time, Ronaldo had greeted local artist Fatima Hamimi with a hug and a kiss, but in doing so broke Iranian law. It's reported touching a married woman is considered to be adulterous.
However, a spokesman for the Iranian embassy in the UK told talkSPORT: "We strongly deny the issuance of any court ruling against any international athlete in Iran.
"His sincere and humane meeting with Fatima Hamami was also praised and admired by both the people and the country's sports authorities."
Meamwhile, local Saudi sources have insisted Ronaldo missed the game due to muscle fatigue.
The round 16 tie between Esteghlal and Al-Nassr finished 0-0 on Monday night.
