Al-Nassr will miss the services of their Croatian star Marcelo Brozović in the anticipated match against Al-Hazm, scheduled for next Saturday evening, as part of the sixth round of the Roshan Saudi Pro League.

Brozović's absence is due to his ongoing struggle with a muscle injury in the adductor area, which he sustained during his participation in the last match against Al-Fateh in the local league.

Recent media reports confirmed that the latest medical examinations revealed the need for the player to have more time before returning to group training, prompting the technical staff to exclude him from the squad for the Al-Hazm match.

The same injury had previously kept him from appearing in his team's last match against Goa from India in the AFC Champions League, marking his second consecutive absence from Al-Nassr.

The 32-year-old player is undergoing an intensive treatment and rehabilitation program at the club's medical clinic under the supervision of the medical staff, in preparation for his return to upcoming matches.

Al-Nassr's management and the technical staff, led by Jorge Jesus, hope to recover Brozović's services quickly, especially with the busy schedule of local and continental matches in the coming weeks.
