Al-Nassr vs Al-Khaleej Team News
Al-Nassr: The big news for Al-Nassr fans is the expected return of Cristiano Ronaldo, who missed the last two league games due to illness. His presence will be a significant boost for the team’s attack. Other players like Jhon Duran, Sadio Mane, Otavio, and Ayman Yahya are expected to support him. However, players such as Rodri, John Stones, Nathan Aké, and Oscar Bobb (who are listed as injured for a different league, potentially an error in the search result) are not relevant to Al-Nassr’s lineup. Mateo Kovacic (also not an Al-Nassr player) also doesn’t apply. Specific injury and suspension details for Al-Nassr’s squad for this particular match should be confirmed closer to kick-off from reliable Saudi sports news outlets.
Al-Khaleej: First-choice goalkeeper Ibrahim Sehic and centre-back Marcel Tisserand are ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury. Kostas Fortounis is one booking away from missing his next match. No other significant injury concerns have been widely reported.
