Koman injury forces Al Nassr to make early substitution against Neftchi

The coaching staff brought on Ayman Yahya in place of Koman, in a forced change that occurred less than 15 minutes into the match, which compelled the coach to rearrange his tactics early.

Al Nassr hosted Neftchi on Monday evening at Al Awal Park in the capital Riyadh, in the second round of the Western Zone league stage of the AFC Champions League Elite for the 2026-2027 season.

The French star's exit came at a time when the match had not seen any goals, as the score remained 0-0 between the two teams until the moment of the substitution, leaving the encounter open to all possibilities.

The injury prevented Al Nassr from continuing the match with the lineup they started with, as the coaching staff had to intervene quickly. Ayman Yahya replaced Koman to complete the continental encounter against the Uzbek team.

Al Nassr were forced to make an early substitution during their match against Neftchi, after Frenchman Kingsley Coman sustained an injury, leaving the pitch in the 13th minute amid anticipation for updates on his condition.
