Injury Update and Weekend Showdown
Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus of Al Nassr awaits news on Brazilian forward Angelo Gabriel after a groin injury in the match with Al Zawraa.
Gabriel started in a 5-1 win for Al Nassr over Al Zawraa in the AFC Champions League 2, but the forward felt groin pain.
Saudi outlet Al-Riyadia reported that the club's doctor, Carlos Miguel, will wait 24 hours before imaging to assess Angelo’s injury and decide his availability.
Al Nassr face Al Khaleej on Saturday in Round 21 of the Roshen Pro League, with Jesus giving players one day off and training resuming Friday.
Five players – Mohammed Siamkan, Inigo Martinez, Abdul Malik Al-Jaber, Saad Hakawi, and Ayman Yahya – remain in rehabilitation from various injuries.
Fans will be watching closely for any update, hoping Gabriel can be cleared in time.
Punchline 1: If suspense had a scoreboard, this update would be leading 1-0.
Punchline 2: The doctor's calendar moves faster than a counter-attack.
