Al Nassr's preseason camp in Portugal continues with a friendly clash against defending Portuguese Primeira Liga champions Benfica on Thursday, July 20.

Al Nassr will complete their Portugal preseason training camp with a friendly against the current Portuguese Primeira Liga champions Benfica on Thursday, July 20.

The Saudi Pro League side has enjoyed a mixed bag of results this summer, with solid wins against Alverca and Farense, followed up by a resounding 5-0 defeat to Rafa Benitez's Celta Vigo.

Captain Cristiano Ronaldo made his return to the Al Nassr side in the Celta defeat with the Portuguese international replaced at halftime in Faro.

This clash against Benfica will mark the end of the first part of Al Nassr's preseason campaign as they head to Japan for warmup games against PSG and Inter Milan before the end of July.

Ronaldo and summer signing Marcelo Brozovic are both expected to start again, after being named in the first XI vs. Celta, with newly acquired star Seko Fofana also likely to play a role.
