Jorge Jesus Reveals Injury Concerns and Raises Ambiguity Regarding Brozović
Sunday 26-10-2025
Portuguese Jorge Jesus, the head coach of Al-Nassr, expressed his concern over the injury sustained by player Ayman Yahya during the match against Al-Hazm, hoping that his injury is minor and does not hinder his participation in the upcoming match.

Jesus clarified in the press conference held after the match that the victory with a score of 2-0 in the sixth round of the Roshan Saudi League is a continuation of the winning streak that has granted the team a perfect score of 18 points.

He noted that the team displayed a strong offensive performance by scoring 16 goals while conceding only two, considering that these figures confirm Al-Nassr's superiority and its deserving position at the top of the standings so far.

The Portuguese coach indicated that the players suffered from noticeable physical fatigue due to the team's recent trip to India, confirming that he was hesitant to include Ayman Yahya from the start after his full participation in the previous Asian match.

Jesus revealed the possibility of making adjustments to the starting lineup in the upcoming match against Al-Ittihad in the Round of 16 of the King's Cup, noting that the club has only ten foreign professionals, including the injured Brozović, which makes his participation status ambiguous for now.

He added that the absence of some influential players, such as Brozović and Pinto, places the team in a difficult position compared to competing clubs like Al-Hilal, Al-Ahli, and Al-Ittihad, which have a larger number of foreign players.

Jesus described the current version of the Roshan League as the strongest and most competitive, due to the close levels of the teams and the presence of world-class coaches and advanced stadiums, confirming that this development has positively reflected on Saudi football in general.

He concluded his remarks by praising the levels of the Saudi national team in the World Cup qualifying playoff, indicating that the increase in the number of foreign professionals has not negatively affected local players but has contributed to enhancing their efficiency through interaction with global stars.
