Injuries hit Al Ahli ahead of Al Nassr clásico

Al Ahli face a challenge ahead of their match against Al Nassr, scheduled for November 20, with six players on the injured list, raising questions about the team’s readiness for the encounter.

The injured players are Merih Demiral, Zakaria Hawsawi, Saleh Abu al-Shamat, Nayef Masoud, Eduard Spertsyan and Valentin Atangana. Coach Marino Pusic needs to prepare alternatives, particularly if some of them remain absent until the match.

The report said medical assessments in the coming days will determine whether some players can return to group training, while the coaching staff aim to use the break to correct mistakes, improve cohesion and prepare the substitutes. This comes after recent results that have caused dissatisfaction in Al Ahli circles.
