Australian coach Ange Postecoglou has granted his Al Nassr players a 24-hour break from training, with the team set to resume preparations tomorrow, Monday, in anticipation of the upcoming match against Al Ahly FC.

Al Nassr will visit Al Ahly FC on November 20, in the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, for the postponed match from the ninth round of the Saudi Pro League.

In contrast, Al Ahly FC occupies sixth place with 21 points, gathered from 7 wins and 4 losses, and hopes to exploit the fact that the match is being held at their home ground to achieve a positive result against their rival.
