Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, the head coach of Saudi club Al-Nassr, made a notable decision to exclude the foreign duo Pinto Matheus and Mohammad Siemakan from the team's squad for the upcoming match against Al-Ahli.

This decision comes ahead of the match between Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli, scheduled for tomorrow as part of the 13th round of the Roshn Saudi Professional League, in a highly anticipated encounter among fans.

Al-Yaum Saudi newspaper revealed that the exclusion of the Brazilian goalkeeper Pinto Matheus was due to technical reasons, as Jesus preferred to rely on Nawaf Al-Aqeedi to guard Al-Nassr's goal in the Clasico.

The technical staff preferred to exclude the French player Mohamed Simakan from the squad due to his incomplete physical and technical readiness, following his recent return from an injury that kept him out of action during the past period.

Al-Nassr Club enters the match as the leader of the Saudi League standings with 31 points, aiming to strengthen their top position and continue their positive results this season.

Al-Ahli enters the match from fourth place with 22 points, following their recent victory over Al-Fayha, while Al-Nassr drew 2-2 with Al-Ettifaq in the previous round.

Jesus's decisions reflect his tactical approach ahead of El Clásico, as anticipation builds to see how these absences will affect Al-Nassr's performance in one of the toughest matches of the round.
