Matthias Jaissle, the coach of Al-Ahli, began early preparations for the Clasico match against Al-Nassr in the summit of the Roshan League. This came after a short break following their victory in the AFC Champions League for the elite.

Sources confirmed that all foreign and local players are fully ready without any significant injuries, although some players are experiencing fatigue following the continental final against Machida.

However, that will not prevent them from being present in the training sessions and being considered for the match. It is expected that Yaisle will finalize the list of the eight foreign players during the upcoming training sessions.

The list includes prominent names led by Edouard Mendy and Merih Demiral, alongside Riyad Mahrez and Ivan Toney. It also features other names such as Ibanez, Galeno, Kessié, and Atangana.

Al-Ahly will depart for Riyadh on Tuesday evening on a private plane in preparation for the match, and the team currently holds third place with 66 points ahead of the anticipated classic.
