Ahead of Al-Kholood clash, Al-Nassr prepares Costa's replacement

This move comes to compensate for the absence of Portuguese player Samo Costa, who will miss the match due to accumulated yellow cards, prompting the coaching staff to rearrange their options in midfield.

Meanwhile, the position of French winger Kingsley Coman regarding participation against Al-Kholood has not yet been determined, as the player awaits Postecoglou's decision on including him in the match plans.

Al-Nassr had announced, via their official account on the 'X' platform, the return of Koman to team training on Tuesday after a period of absence, making him an available option for the coach.

Postecoglou is expected to determine the French winger's status on Wednesday ahead of the upcoming clash, as Al-Nassr seeks to finalize the lineup for the match against Al-Kholood.

Australian coach Ange Postecoglou has decided to deploy Abdullah Al-Khaibari alongside Brazilian Angelo Gabriel in midfield for the upcoming match against Al-Kholood on Thursday in the 12th round of the Saudi Pro League.
