Al Nassr awaits the status of French duo before Al Ahly classic

Injuries to Kingsley Coman and Mohamed Simakan have disrupted Al Nassr's plans after both players were injured during the match against Neftchi, as part of the AFC Champions League, with anticipation building regarding their status ahead of the upcoming clásico.

The French duo were forced to leave the match prematurely, with Simakan suffering a strong challenge from Neftchi player Ikromjon Aliyabov, who received a red card from the referee as a result.

Concerns are growing for the coaching staff led by Australian Ange Postecoglou ahead of the upcoming clash against Al Ahly FC, scheduled for next Thursday evening in the ninth round of the Saudi Pro League.

The Al-Naeem Stadium in King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah will host the match between the two teams, which represents an important test for Al Nassr, especially with the possibility of key players missing from their squad due to injury.

Postecoglou hopes for the quick recovery of Koman and Simakan, as he relies on the duo as key elements of the team. Meanwhile, the coaching staff is awaiting the results of their assessments to determine the possibility of their participation against Al Ahly FC.
