The coaching staff of Al-Nassr club announced a surprising decision to exclude one of the team's professionals from the anticipated match against Al-Ettifaq, as part of the 29th round of the Roshn Professional League.

The decision came from the Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, who preferred not to risk playing Angelo Gabriel after he sustained an injury recently that kept him away from training and matches.

The details indicate that the player's injury is in the hamstring, which has caused him to miss participating with the team in the recent phase.

Despite the medical team's efforts to prepare him, his physical condition did not reach the required readiness, prompting the coaching staff to make the final decision to exclude him from the match.

This absence impacts Al-Nassr's attacking options ahead of the match against Al-Ettifaq, especially given the importance of the game in the race for the top of the league.

Al-Nassr had secured a victory in the previous round against Al-Okhdood, which gives the team a morale boost. However, they enter the upcoming match facing new challenges due to absences.
