"Cristiano will make his debut for Al Nassr on January 22nd against Ettifaq", said manager
The Portugal forward, who was unveiled by the Saudi club last week, was suspended after he knocked a phone out of a fan's hand.
He missed the first game of the two match ban.
He could play in an exhibition game.
Lionel Messi's side will take on a team made up of players from Al Nassr and Al Hilal in Riyadh on 19 January, and Garcia told L'Equipe that Ronaldo is likely to feature.
It will not be with the Al Nassr jersey. He said it would be between Al Hilal and Al Nassr.
He will play in his first Al Nassr game later that week.
The Saudi club will be without their star player, who signed a lucrative deal worth more than one billion dollars a year.
After a difficult two-month period during which his United contract was terminated and Portugal lost in the World Cup quarter-finals, the former Lille and Lyon coach hopesRonaldo can rediscover the joy of playing football.
The star left after an interview in which he criticized the club.
He has not had an easy time between Manchester United, the national team and also at a private level.
It will be a good goal to get the pleasure of playing again.
