Jesus Postpones Participation of Haider Abdul Karim
Sunday 15-02-2026
The Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, manager of the Al-Nassr team, changed his stance regarding the participation of the Iraqi player Haider Abdul Karim with the under-21 team against Al-Jabalain.

The coaching staff had previously agreed to Haider Abdul Karim traveling to Hail, accompanied by Abdul Malik Al-Jaber, Saad Haqwi, Rakan Al-Ghamdi, and Awad Aman, to support the team in the 15th round of the Jawi League.

However, the Portuguese coach later requested to rest the player and not include him in the match after he felt some pain, as explained by sports critic Abdulaziz Al-Asimi on his account on the "X" platform.

Jesus had previously relied on Haider Abdul Kareem as a starter in the match against Arkadag of Turkmenistan in the Round of 16 of the AFC Champions League 2, which ended with Al-Nassr winning 1-0.

The decision to rest was made to prevent the injury from worsening, especially with the pressure of matches and the coaching staff's desire to maintain the player's readiness for the upcoming phase.

It is noted that Al-Nassr holds the third position in the Joy League standings with 30 points, two points behind the leading team, Al-Okhdood, and one point behind Al-Ettifaq, which is in second place.
