Union Faces Risk of Adventure in King's Cup in Al-Nasr Classic

Media reports have revealed a surprise that could threaten the participation of Union goalkeeper, Serbian Predrag Rajković, in the King's Cup final against Al-Qadsiah. The injured goalkeeper is scheduled to return to participate with his team in the match against Al-Nasr in the Saudi League, which could expose him to the risk of not being able to join the final.

Rajković suffered a thigh injury during the Union's match against Al-Shabab last April, which kept him out of the last four matches. Despite his partial recovery, the coaching staff led by Laurent Blanc is considering including him in the upcoming classic against Al-Nasr in the 30th round of the Saudi League.

The decision poses a significant risk, as participating in the match could hinder his full readiness for the final match in the King's Cup, which the Union will play against Al-Qadsiah. Sources confirmed that the coaching staff is trying to intensify treatment to ensure Rajković's participation in the final.

On the other hand, the Union is playing its crucial match against Al-Nasr in its quest to maintain the lead in the Saudi Professional League. The team is currently in first place with 68 points, 6 points ahead of Al-Hilal, while Al-Nasr has 57 points in third place.

The Union, which aims to win the double this season, is looking to secure the Professional League title first before thinking about the King's Cup, hoping to match Al-Hilal's achievement last season and qualify for the Saudi Super.
