The absence of Al-Nassr's Spanish professional player Iñigo Martínez from the anticipated match against Al-Najma in the Saudi Roshn League has been confirmed due to an injury he has not yet recovered from.

The defender is suffering from a hamstring issue, which prevented him from participating in the anticipated match in the 27th round of the competition.

Martinez continues to follow his treatment and rehabilitation program away from group training, under the close supervision of the team's medical staff.

The absence of the player represents a tactical blow for Al-Nassr, especially since he forms a strong defensive partnership with the Frenchman Mohamed Simakan and has contributed to the stability of the backline throughout the season.

The Spanish defender played 34 matches for Al-Nassr this season across various competitions and managed to score 3 goals.

Al-Nassr is preparing to host the Al-Najma team at "Al Awwal Park" stadium in the capital, Riyadh, next Friday evening at 9 o'clock.

Al-Nassr enters the match leading the league standings with 67 points, while Al-Najma is at the bottom with 8 points after 26 rounds.
