Changes in Al-Nassr's Formation Against Al-Urouba
Reports have revealed that Italian coach Stefano Pioli of Al-Nassr has settled on replacements for the Spanish player Emerick Laporte and Senegalese player Sadio Mane, both of whom are sidelined for the upcoming match against Al-Urouba.
The Italian coach has excluded both players from the squad traveling to Al-Jouf, after initial examinations showed that Laporte suffered a tear in his hamstring following his injury against Al-Wahda last Tuesday, while Mane was rested.
Pioli included Angelo Gabriel as a substitute for Mane in the main practice held this morning, Thursday, which also saw the return of Simakan to the center-back position after missing the last two matches due to disciplinary suspension.
Additionally, forward Duran will return after missing the Al-Wahda match due to a suspension, following his red card in the final minutes of the match against Al-Ittifaq.
The coach also reinstated midfielder Brozovic to the pivot position, replacing Ali Al-Hassan, who started in the previous match.
