Cruciate Ligament Injury Ends Al-Nassr Goalkeeper's Season
Al-Nassr received a major blow after it was confirmed that one of their goalkeepers suffered a torn ACL, which means he will be absent for a long period that could exceed six months.
The club's official account on the "X" platform revealed that the medical examinations undergone by Raghad Al-Najjar confirmed a complete tear of the knee's cruciate ligament.
The goalkeeper is scheduled to undergo surgery in the coming days, followed by an intensive rehabilitation program aimed at preparing him to return to the field in the best possible physical condition.
The absence of Najjar impacts the coaching staff's options, especially since he is considered the team's third-choice goalkeeper after Brazilian Bento Matheus and Nawaf Al-Aqidi.
In terms of competitions, Al-Nassr continued its positive results after defeating Al-Fayha with a score of three goals to one, as part of the twenty-fourth round of the Saudi Professional League.
The goals for Al-Alami were scored by Sadio Mane, an own goal by Mosquera, and Abdullah Al-Hamdan, while Al-Fayha's goal came through an own goal by Abdulilah Al-Omari.
With this victory, Al-Nassr raised its tally to 61 points, taking the lead in the Saudi Professional League standings amid intense competition.
