Jesus Finalizes Al-Amri's Replacement Against Al-Hilal
Sunday 11-01-2026
Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, head of Saudi club Al-Nassr, has finalized his defensive lineup ahead of the highly anticipated match against Al-Hilal, part of the 15th round of the Saudi Pro League.

Al-Nassr enters the Riyadh derby without the services of defender Abdulilah Al-Amri, who is confirmed to be absent due to a hamstring injury he sustained in recent matches.

The Saudi newspaper "Al-Youm" revealed that Jesus has decided to field the French player Mohamed Simakan to compensate for Al-Amri's absence in the defense line during the match against Al-Hilal.

Simakan is expected to form a central defensive duo alongside the Spaniard Iñigo Martínez, in an effort to provide the defensive line with the necessary balance against Al Hilal's attacking strength.

This decision comes after Al-Nassr's 2-1 loss to Al-Qadisiyah in the 14th round of the Saudi League, which increased the pressure ahead of the derby match.

Al-Nassr occupies second place in the Roshn Saudi League standings with 31 points, four points behind the leader Al-Hilal, ahead of the highly anticipated clash between the rivals.
