Recent medical examinations for Norwegian player Joshua King have shown positive signs towards his full recovery from a hamstring injury, which enhances his chances of participating with Al-Khaleej against Al-Nassr in the ninth round of the Roshn Saudi League.

Informed sources revealed that King has responded exceptionally well to the treatment program he underwent in the past few days, making him preliminarily ready to return to team training ahead of the anticipated match scheduled for November 23.

The player had left his team's match against Al-Hazm in the last round due to an injury. However, Al-Khaleej continued to shine by achieving a significant victory with four goals, despite being a player down after Paulo Fernandez was sent off.

Fernandez will miss the next match due to an automatic suspension following his red card, while Al-Khaleej will welcome back defender Murad Hossawi after serving his suspension for accumulating yellow cards, which provides the team with a strong defensive boost.

The Greek international duo, Dimitris Kourbelis and Georgios Masouras, will return to the team after completing their commitments with their national team, and they are expected to join the training two days before the match against Al-Nassr.

On the other hand, the coaching staff has decided to resume training on Tuesday after a three-day break, with the friendly match scheduled against Al-Adalah being canceled due to their withdrawal. Currently, arrangements are being made to hold an alternative practice match.

The Al-Khaleej team is experiencing its best period in the Saudi Professional League, having collected 14 points that place them in sixth position. They have scored 21 goals, thanks to the outstanding performance of King, who is competing for the top scorer title with nine goals. Meanwhile, his teammate Fortunis leads the assists chart with eight assists.
