Al-Nasr will be without the services of their French defender Mohamed Simakan during the match against Al-Faihah in the seventh round of the Roshen Saudi League, due to an injury he sustained recently, which poses a defensive blow to the team during a busy period of matches.

Simakan suffered the injury during the match against Al-Ittihad, which ended in a 2-1 loss in the Round of 16 of the King Abdulaziz Cup, as the player faced a muscle strain in the hamstring that forced him to leave the lineup.

The medical staff of Al-Nasr has granted the French player a four-day rest, during which he will undergo a special treatment and rehabilitation program aimed at gradually preparing him before returning to group training.

After the treatment period, the player will undergo additional tests to assess his readiness and determine the extent of his full recovery before allowing him to participate in training sessions normally.

Simakan will also miss Al-Nasr's upcoming match in the AFC Champions League against FC Goa, scheduled for Wednesday, November 5, which increases the pressure on the team's defense in this important Asian encounter.

The French defender is expected to return to participate with Al-Nasr in the match against Neom, in the eighth round of the Roshen League on Saturday, November 8, if he successfully passes the medical tests and regains his physical fitness.

This absence represents a technical challenge for coach Luis Castro, given Simakan's vital role in the backline, while the medical staff is striving to ensure his return without any risks to maintain his continuity in the upcoming period.
