The former Real Madrid star also missed his team's 6-0 win against Inter Miami on Feb. 1, a game that would have seen him face Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo, who turned 39 on Monday, resumed training with his team this week and will captain Al Nassr in the friendly at the Kingdom Arena.
He last played for Al Nassr in a 4-1 league win at Al Taawon on Dec. 30.
AL Nassr are second in the Saudi Pro League, seven points adrift of leaders Al Hilal after 19 games.
