The head coach of Al-Nassr, Portuguese Jorge Jesus, has decided to exclude ten players from the team list heading today, Sunday, to Austria, to undertake a closed preparatory camp in preparation for the new season 2025-2026.

The team's camp is scheduled to last until August 8, during which Al-Nassr will conduct a series of training sessions and friendly matches aimed at physically and technically preparing the players before the official competitions begin.

The list of excluded players includes several prominent names, most notably Spanish defender Aymeric Laporte and Portuguese midfielder Otavio, in a surprising decision that raised questions about their future with the team.

Also missing from the list are Bassam Hazzazi, Mohammed Al-Fateel, Fahd Al-Zubaidi, Fahd Al-Talib, Mansour Al-Shammari, Asir Hawsawi, Youssef Al-Tahan, and Rakan Al-Ghamdi, for technical or administrative reasons according to sources close to the club.

Jesus's decision to exclude this number of players reflects his desire to rely on a specific group during the camp, focusing on the ready elements to achieve harmony and balance before the season starts.
