Al-Nassr Recovers Coman for Al-Okhdood Clash, Martínez Remains Sidelined

Ekhbary News Agency | May 15, 2024

Saudi press reports today confirmed French international Kingsley Coman, an Al-Nassr player, is ready for the anticipated Al-Okhdood encounter this Saturday. This match is part of the 28th round of the Saudi Professional League. Coman, to be sure, has recovered from his muscle injury, participating fully in team training, a significant boost for coach Georgie Jesus. This positive development follows the player's absence from Al-Nassr's recent 5-2 victory over Al-Najma on April 3.

Martínez Remains Sidelined, Focus on Rehabilitation

Conversely, Al-Nassr will miss Spanish defender Iñigo Martínez in the Al-Okhdood fixture, as his injury recovery is incomplete. Martínez continued his rehabilitation program on Wednesday, confirming his unavailability. Coach Georgie Jesus limited a training drill to just 20 minutes at the club stadium to prevent further muscle injuries. Al-Nassr currently leads the league with 70 points, two points ahead of Al-Hilal, making every match crucial in the title race.
