Al-Nassr enters the match against Al-Shabab with complex considerations, as several of its players are at risk of missing the anticipated game against Al-Hilal if they receive a yellow card.

Al-Nassr will face Al-Shabab on Thursday, May 7, before clashing with their rival Al-Hilal in an anticipated derby that could determine the features of the Roshan League champion this season.

The list of players at risk of being absent includes seven prominent players: Kingsley Coman, Marcelo Brozović, Mohamed Simakan, Nawaf Boushal, Ali Al-Hassan, Sultan Al-Ghannam, and Abdulrahman Gharib.

The danger of the situation lies in the fact that any warning received by one of these players during the match against Al-Shabab will automatically prevent them from participating in the decisive encounter against Al-Hilal.

This threat poses a headache for the coaching staff, especially since most of the mentioned names are key pillars that the team relies on across various lines.

Al-Nassr tops the league standings with 79 points, just two points ahead of Al-Hilal, which increases the importance of the upcoming two matches in determining the champion's identity.

Al-Nassr stumbled in the previous round with a loss to Al-Qadisiyah, while Al-Hilal succeeded in securing an important victory over Al-Khaleej, intensifying the competition until the final moments.
