Defender Mohamed Simakan has joined the Al-Nassr team's collective training after a short absence during which he received official permission for rest from the team's coaching staff.

Simakan's return comes at an ideal time as the global team prepares for the new season amidst intensive preparations led by Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus.

The player had missed previous training sessions due to a pre-planned rest as part of the physical preparation schedule for the new season, which raised questions among fans about his future.

Sources within the team confirmed that Jesus is fully committed to Simakan's services, emphasizing his importance in Al-Nassr's defensive structure in the upcoming phase.

The Portuguese coach firmly rejected the idea of letting the player go, considering him one of the essential pillars on which he relies in his upcoming tactical plans.
